Hi Jaco, here are some great drills to enhance team defense when you have only one team:

Defensive Touch Warm Up: This drill involves two teams on a half pitch. It's a touch game with conditions where the attacker, once touched, must go down, bounce back up, and drive into the defender. This helps in practicing defensive positioning and reactions. 1 Check it out here.
Last 15 Defence Drill: This drill focuses on defending in wide channels. It involves setting up a grid that is 40m wide and 20m long, with the 40m divided into a 25m channel. It's great for practicing defensive patterns. 2 Learn more here.

These drills will help your team maintain structure and improve their defensive strategies. Let me know if you need more information!
