Community | Pressing exercise

Ali Shaw Teacher, England

DESCRIPTION

Ball players are tasked with competing 5 passes before moving ball on to opposite side. Two yellows are required to press the ball whilst the other two provide balance looking to protect the passing lanes.

COACHING POINTS

Nearest defender to ball presses first. Aim in the 'trap' the ball in one area. Can we use pitch boundaries to aid this? Curvature of runs - predict movement of ball. Footwork, small steps. Middle men - how do we block passing lanes. Can we communicate with people pressing?
