Defend the Corridor

This drill is for a defender to practice intercepting and dictating play. Use 4 feeders to make a space like a wide corridor for the attacker in a third. Have 2 feeders on each side of the third 6-7m apart facing each other. The attacker will start the drill by passing to one of the first feeders, who will then pass back to the attacker. The attacker then has to pass to one of the next 2 feeders further up, on either side. The attacker also has to receive the ball in line with or in front of the Feeder, to keep play moving forward.

Defend the Lane

This drill is for a defender to practice intercepting and dictating play. Use 4 feeders to make a space like a wide corridor for the attacker in a third. Have 2 feeders on each side of the third 8-10m apart facing each other. The attacker will start the drill by passing to one of the first feeders, who will then pass back to the attacker. The attacker then has to pass to the next feeder on the same side. It doesn't matter which side they pick to start the drill, but both passes have to stay on the same side each time. The Attacker also has to receive the ball in line with or in front of the Feeder, to keep play moving forward.

Centre Pass Defence Defence - ...

Have the feeder start on the centre circle. Set up two boxes starting in the middle of the court and ending at one edge, with the bottom edge of the boxes being the transverse line.The feeder's aim is to pass to the attacker, in either box. They will be marked by one defender in the box and another defender behind the box, who will only move in if the first defender over-commits to an intercept and becomes unable to recover their position.The defenders are aiming to make sure the attacker doesn't receive the ball in the inside box. Ideally they would intercept the ball.In his scenario of a Centre pass it would be the Centre defending from in front with the WD ready to come into the box from behind.

Defenders Dictating Play Defen...

Create a narrow channel for 2 attackers and 2 defenders to work in, from the centre circle to the end of court.Have a feeder on each side of the channel; both able to move along the side.Attackers are attempting to play the ball over the baseline.Defenders are focusing on keeping the attackers high or forcing them to make as many passes as possible.(The more passes the attackers are forced to make the better. This is because they are more likely to make errors under fatigue and gives the defenders more opportunities to intercept.)<em>Points</em><em>Attackers pass the ball over the baseline = 1 point to Attackers</em><em>Defender intercepts the ball =1 point to Defenders</em>Best of 5

Dictating the Attacker Away fr...

Have 2 feeders positioned on the third line about 5m apart.An attacker starts just off the semicircle, with a defender behind them.Feeders pass side to side and the defender repositions to the ball side but still behind the attacker.Within 3 passes from the feeders to each other the attacker moves around the circle edge to become a forward option.Defender keeps repositioning behind to stop the attacker getting deep or on circle edge.<em>Points:</em><em>If Attacker receives the ball off the circle edge = Defender gets a point</em><em>If Attacker receives the ball on the circle edge = Attacker gets a point</em>Keep score out of 5.

Virtual Snake-bite Defence - N...

Place some cones in a large circle, using more cones than players. Each player stands behind a cone. Moving on the balls of their feet with little steps your players should be running to the left and to the right of the cone simulating blocking without ever actually running in front of the cone. As they come towards the front of the cone players should use their outside hand to flash in front of the cone (as if blocking a ball). So if your player has run round the left of the cone they should use their right hand. Work for 30 second periods and on the whistle drive to any other cone and start again.

Defensive Body Position Defenc...

Get into 3's with one ball Set up two cones approximately 4-5 meters apart One player will be the feeder and stand approximately 2-3 meters in front of the conesOne player will be the attacker and will start centrally behind the cones and the other player will be the defender and will start centrally in front of the cones The attacker will move between the two cones - running back and forth At any point the feeder and pass the ball in The defender must go for the interception The defender must get 3 interceptions to swap out

GK Interceptions Defence - Net...

Inside the shooting circle set up a smaller semicircle with cones, dividing the the semicircle into an inner and outer section of roughly the same width.Feeder starts play in the goal third, to one side. The GS runs out of the circle to receive the pass. They then have the option to pass to an attacker (who is on the edge of the circle opposite to the side feeder) or to pass back to the unmarked feeder who has run in.Whichever of these receives the ball will pass it back to the attacker once the attacker has run into the circle. Points:If the attacker receives the ball inside the inner circle then they get 1pt.If the defender makes a successful intercept or forces the attacker to receive the ball in the area of the circle outside of the cones then they get 1pt. The first to 5 points wins.If the attacker receives the ball you can get them to take a shot, and have the defender recover quickly to mark.

I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
