DESCRIPTION

This drill is the final progression for 1v1 defending. We are now moving onto 3v2 defending. You should now make the size of the area bigger to compensate for the extra players, you should also do this so the area is not cramped and too easy for the defenders.

The aim of this drill is for defenders to make 1v1 or 1v2 situations forcing the attacker with the ball into another defender with the use of their body position and dictating the play.

The set up is the same as before, defenders start with the ball and pass to the attackers. However there are now two defeneders instead of one. The defenders should now work in a pair. One defender should go towards the attacker with the ball with the other defender taking a position where they can see the attacker with the ball and the next closest attacker. the defender closing the ball down should take a position where they can see the ball, their defensive partner and the attacker they are covering. Once they ahve done this the defender should then try and dictate the play and force the attacker towards their defensive partner creating a 1v2 situation where the attacker cannot pass the ball forward and potentially losing the ball and the defenders winning the ball back
