The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!

DESCRIPTION

Played on half a pitch, but now a defender is added aiming principally to defend the crosses into the penalty area.

The starting position for the defender in white is in the D on the front of the 18 yard area.

The exercise follows the same process as in the technique practice – attacking players switching the ball out wide before moving into the penalty area, aiming to get on the end of a cross. The only difference now is the added defender (who must try and cut out the crosses) has to be by passed.

So now the cross has to be really accurate with the 2 forward players switching positions and making room away from the defender, especially if the coach insists on applying the offside rule.

Coaches can add more defenders and or attackers as appropriate.

Physical - Jumping, Running

Technical - Timing of run, creating space, early and accurate crosses

Tactical - Positioning, movement

Psychological - Decision making, concentration, confidence
