1v1 Defensive Posture

Love the site, it's a fantastic learning tool!

DESCRIPTION

  1. Play a game of 1v1. Set up a 10 X 10 metre grid and split the team into 4 groups with 1 group on each corner of the grid

  2. Two groups next to each other (Group A and B) will have the supply of balls

  3. The first player of group A will play a ball to the first player in group C who is on the diagonal corner (Step 1)

  4. Player C becomes the attacker who attempts to attack the cone in which player A came from (Step 2)

  5. Player A becomes the defender and attempts to deny player C from getting to his cone. Play is considered dead when the ball is out of the grid, or the defending player wins possession

  6. Group B will then play to Group D and repeat

COACHING POINTS

  • Watch for defender’s posture as they step up to pressure the attacker

  • Remind the defender to keep the attacker away from the goal by staying between the offensive player and the goal.

 

  • Defenders should position their body low to the ground with knees bent while moving backwards

  • It may be difficult and awkward to some, but with time their ability to get low will help them to stand up to any attacker and deny them space
