Defensive Cover and Support

This Sportplan session works on getting your defenders to keep their heads up, communicate, make the right decisions and fill in to prevent the opposition from getting through!

It would be great if your defence never lost its shape and your defenders never over committed. In reality though mistakes are made by all levels of players and so as a result you should practice getting your defence to shuffle and shift to get their team-mate's back and fill the space to prevent the opposition's attackers running clean through you back line.

To help prevent your side from leaking necessary goals this session focusses on your defenders, teaching when to go forward and meet the ball and when to hang back, cover the loose man and hold position.
