Hi Sean,
Here are some drills from the drill library that can help your U10 players stay calm when defending:
- Defensive Pressure: This drill involves playing 3 v 3 with goalkeepers. It focuses on making early decisions, challenging the player with the ball, and maintaining clear communication between defenders. 1 Learn more here.
- 1 Vs. 1 Channelling: This drill teaches defenders to be patient and not commit too easily. It helps them stay low, shuffle, and shadow using fast feet. 2 Learn more here.
- Wolf Pack: In this drill, players learn to shield the ball and turn away from defenders, which can help them stay calm under pressure. 3 Learn more here.
These drills focus on defensive skills and maintaining composure under pressure. Let me know if you need more information!
