1V1 Shutting the ball down

Very good interactive coaching drills.
Matt

DESCRIPTION

Set up 2 lines of defender on the corner of the 18yd box and 2 lines of attackers roughly level with the edge of the centre circle.

On the Coaches call the 2 attackers dribble at pace towards the goal.

At the same time the defenders also need to run out to shut the attacker down and try to

  • Get between the attacker and the goal
  • Push the atacker wide
  • Slow the attacker down so they can make their tackle and force the attacker to make a quick decision
  • Make an interception if possible

If the attacker gets past the defender then they can shoot at goal

Swop over after a few turns

COACHING POINTS

Defenders need to shut the ball down at pace but not over commit or dive in

Get body position correct and try to shield the attacker away by mirroring their movement
