In a 15W x 20L grid, place two players on the each end line and two players in the middle of the grid in a two yard zone. The outside players will try to connect as many passes as they can. They will score a point for every pass completed that beats the defenders. The interceptors work together to either intercept the pass or deflect the pass out of bounds. 3 Interceptions and the players rotate or 5 deflections and the players rotate. All players get to defend in the middle.
Defenders reading passer visual cues:
o Where is the passer looking
o Shape of his body
o When is he/she striking the ball
• Pressing defender getting in-line with
the ball
• Working together as a unit
o Quick lateral movement
o Telling each other:
“Shift right”
“Shift left”
“Johnny! - Press”
“Drop” (whole team)
o How to deny penetration
• Patience when defending
• Lateral compactness
