What are good drills to demonstrate obstruction and more importantly how to avoid obstruction
Hi Ian,
A great way to teach how to avoid obstruction is to develop your players movements off the ball, particularly once they have passed, to move to create space and not obstruct any opposition players.
The best drills are in the Movement Off the Ball section and this is my personal favourite!
Encourage players to get ahead after making a pass to avoid crowding the receiver where they`re likely to be penalised for obstruction.
