Set up a 10m wide channel from D to D across a half pitch. Balls in 2 piles, on the right hand side at the bottom of each channel. Defender to feed a ball into an attacker halfway down the channel who then attacks the D 1v1.
Start with good feeds, then after 5/10 minutes encourage defenders to add bobbles/make the passes worse so we have to work on our traps and subsequent decision making.
Attacking
Target defenders left foot. Lose the ball to defenders strong side means 5 press ups
Don't get stuck down a channel
Drag big, go fast - make the defender move at speed
Defending
Channel to forehand
Patient in the tackle, deny and dictate more than looking for 'must win' tackles
2 handed tackles. 1 handed means 5 press ups
