Choose 4 players to work as defenders and start in the central circle. The other players take a ball each & dribble around the square. 1 - on the coaches command, the defenders run to pressure and jockey a dribbling player (but don't tackle) 2 - now the player runs to pressure and see how many attackers they can tackle in 10 seconds.
Main focus is on the defending principles (3 D's): Deny the attacker any space behind them. Delay the attacker, by slowing him down - attackers are more dangerous when running at speed. Destroy - force the attacker to make the mistake and then win the ball off them. Always watch the ball and not the defenders body movement Jockeying means get down low, be on your toes and position yourself side on - so that they are not square (easy to beat).
