The 2 defenders inside the circle must ensure one of them is always marking the attacker inside the circle.

While one player marks the defender, the other should be covering the space and looking to make the interception.

In a designated area, using lines or cones, the white team must attempt to dodge past each defending player.

Defending players can only use sideways movements in order to prevent this.

4 players. 1 ball.
White 1 and 2 are defence, working as a unit. Blue 1 and 2 have a ball. They pass between them and also into the area between.(Loose passes). Whites must call for the ball and cover each other to pick off the passes. Then feed to either blue and play on.

The two defenders are covering the space inside the circle - and a bit like piggy in the middle they are trying to win back the ball.

As one defender moves towards the player with the ball and tries to prevent one pass, the other defender attempts to cover the space for the other pass.
