3v3 - 3 Goal Game
Focus is on Defending
1. Pressure
2. Cover
3. Balance
Players are doing a good job at pressuring and are getting better at at the cover - still there are times where they are getting split.
Lets try and focus on:
1. Lines of recovery
(this will help with reconizing how and when to cover the players while in play)
2. Balance - being goal side and ball side and not Manmarking but supporting their team mates.

1. Cover - off the shoulder - focusing on doing 1.5 jobs - marking their player but supporting their team mate
