Use this plan to improve your players' zone defence skills, teaching them to work together to push the opposition wide, deny space and regain possession for your team!
Limit the opponentâs options in attack with this defensive session, improving your teamâs ability to intercept and apply pressure to the ball carrier
Maximum of 8 players form the outside of a circle with 2 defenders inside and 1 ball.
Defenders have to work together to intercept the ball and should communicate to each other by calling who is marking the ball and who is marking the space in order to work more effectively.
Coaching points
Defenders have to be assertive and dominant.
Defenders work together to try and pressure the attackers and successfully intercept the ball.
Players around the circle must keep the ball flat (No overheads).
No passing to your neighbours (nearest player around circle edge).
Progression:
Add more defenders into the circle so that there are more interceptions from the defenders.
