1v1 to 3v3 Defending

Sportplan is a very helpful resource and I really enjoy the wonderful...
David

DESCRIPTION

Defenders run out toward attacker, delay attacker, allow them to attack all the way through the cones, but keep good positioning the whole time. 

Progression: Now defender shuts down attacker, delay patiently until attacker makes a mistake, then intercept the ball. Attacker scores through red cones.

Progression: Now 3 v 3, each player must stay in their channel, defenders apply pressure if ball in their channel, if not they drop off in support.

Progression: Take away middle cones, it is now 3 v 3 in the whole grid. Score on one central goal

COACHING POINTS

Positioning: Proper body positioning. Stay between the ball and the goal, angle body toward a side. Shuffle feet, shoulder width apart.

Patience: Delay properly, and wait for the attacker to take a long touch. DO NOT STAB.
