What?s in the session?
Begin with a shadow tag warm up to get defenders comfortable with recognising their positioning and keeping an eye on the opposition.
The skill development part of the session works on the differences between man-to-man and zonal defences, highlight how players must work together to cover eachother in either set up. The common theme throughout the skill development phase is the communication between the defenders to maintain shape and discipline.
