2v2 - Mark the Space, not the ...

After being passed the ball by the feeder/coach the attackers (blue 2 and blue 3) try to pass their way past the defenders. In this drill the two attackers can attack anywhere, and can overlap and swap positions at will in order to try and get past the defenders. The defenders however must mark the space, not the players, and so must communicate between one another so that both players are always marked, while ensuring that they don't change places.

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
