OFTEN USED WITH...

Shadowing:

Players run in pairs along the length of the court.

The defender runs alongside the attacker, trying to keep the attacker on the outside edges of the channel by turning their body as the attacker jogs/ changes direction.

Do this four times and then swap roles.

Defence

Sprinting with defenders:

In Pairs.

Blue players stand in front of white. White players run towards one line, sudden change of direction and sprint back to try and lose the defence. Defence start as static defence, then become active.

Getting free

Marking player and intercepting:

Blue 1 and 2 passing to each other. No. 3 is dodging from side to side. White 1 defends. Feed can come in at any time to no. 3 and defence attempts intercept.

Interception

Prevent the middle Pass:

Players work in groups of 5 - 3 passing players on the outside of the triangle, one attacking player in the middle and one defender who is marking the central player.
