How t o help the girls when coming up against a really aggressive team

Hi Naomi,
I find the best way to deal with this kind of team is to ignore the aggressive behaviour.
If my team play a nice clean game it often frustrates the aggressive team, causing them to make mistakes we can capitalise off! Also, if there is an impartial umpire your team`s good behaviour will only highlight fault in the other team.
I`ve attached a drill to do with getting free, hopefully if your players find space the other team won`t be able to be aggressive without it being obvious!
Best of luck,
Georgia
Diamond getting free
DESCRIPTION
Feeder starts with the ball outside of the diamond, 2m from the edge. Attacker and Defender start in the square. Attacker has to get free from defender and receive a pass from F at the cones of the diamond. Defender has to prevent A from moving, restricting her space. Work for 2-4 minutes with A moving to as many different cones as possible to receive a pass from F. Swap roles.

Good drill that keeps defenders on their toes and attackers on point
