Any suggestions on fun defending sessions for my under 7s team. Any fun shooting sessions would also be a bonus too...
Hi Andy,
1 v 1 drills where the attacker is trying to beat a defender before shooting are really good for defenders looking to improve their ability defensive ability. This will help them work on body position to steer attackers away from danger, also staying on their feet to time the tackle.
