Struggling to get all your players involved? Well struggle no more, as this session is designed to get your whole team motivated and involved with four defending and possession games!
To make sure your team are playing possession football with a purpose, this session practices defending against an attacking overload.
Attacking overloads happen when your side are playing a formation with few defenders (e.g. 3-4-3), if you're caught on the counter attack or if you've lost a player through injury/booking.
Teach your players how to defend as a team, delay the attack and support one another with this week's defending games session.
