High Pressure Defending 12 v 6

Excellent site with easy to navigate pages.
Lawrence

DESCRIPTION

Set up 3 teams of six and, if possible, one keeper. Set up cones to have the field the width of the 18 yd box and the length of half a pitch.

Two teams attack as one against the third team. Play for 2 to 4 minutes and switch out defending team. Progress by having defending team clear to coach then they can attack with the team who lost the ball defending.

COACHING POINTS

  • play a back four with two midfielders.
  • force the attacking team to play sideways and backwards.
  • every defender is covering a player and a passing lane (see ovals in sketch).
  • attacking players pressing at top of box are double covered.
  • players in box are not the threat.
  • when ball is played back defenders need to move up and press higher.
