It stands to reason that the closer the opposition's attackers are to your goal - the more dangerous they are to your team! With this in mind ideally your defence will never let them get close to your goal for the full 90 minutes. However, for most teams that's wishful thinking which is why your team needs a Plan B!
What's the Plan B then? It's teaching your players to deal with defending on the edge of your 18 yard box - knowing not to dive in whilst still trying to win the ball back!
The drills in this session have been designed to recreate high pressure defending scenarios. Although this session is geared towards defence your attacking players will be given ample opportunity to test their passing game and skills as they try to get the better of your defence.
