Suggested Exercise
Player one begins with the ball in the opposite diagonal corner to player two. Player one’s target is to score through the red cones which are defended by player two. Player two’s aim is to run in an arc towards player one and channel the attacker away from the red cones and force them to the blue cones.
Attacking players could begin the exercise passively, allowing the defending player to practice their channelling technique. The exercise could progress to become more game like with the attacking player becoming less passive and attempting to score through the defending player’s goal by eliminating the defending player.
