Defending Principle: Building a cohesive defensive unit screen
Regardless of the skills of your defenders, without team cohesion, you'll be sure to ship goals. Create a cohesive defensive unit with this defending session.

Players work in pairs with one ball and three cones, placed in a triangle.
The feeder stands above the top of the triangle.
Using quick, small steps the worker has to rotate around the cones in a figure of 8 before then receiving the ball and returning it to the feeder at the top of the triangle.
Start slowly before gradually increasing the pace.
The worker should keep their head up with their eyes on ball at all times. Shoulders should also always be square to the feeder, rotating their hips as they move in a figure of 8 around the cones.
