Defend Against Counter Attacking

Often teams like to sit in and defend deep to draw you out before hitting you on the counter. It’s important to not leave yourself too exposed when you attack so with this session, develop your players understanding of their positioning and how to cover to be able to dictate the play when the opposition manage to mount a counter attack.

What’s in the Session?
