Chase your own pass - Extra Defenders

Set up 5 equal groups of players, one group on each sideline and 3 in the middle. Have several balls with both groups of sideline players. Also have two additional defenders (red players) stationed just inside the 9 meter line. Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4. Player 1 must chase the passes across the court to support the two red defenders as they press out to put pressure on the pass When player 4 receives the ball they should look for the shot on goal. The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.

536 concept play : going to 2:4

One on One with a covering defender

The feeders on the baseline and the outside of the 9 meter line take it in turns to feed the ball to the attacking runner (Blue 2). When the ball is played the attacker run to meet the pass. As they do so the defender (red 1) also runs to meet them. The attacker is looking to make a shot on goal with the defender aiming to show them to the outside of the court, making it difficult to shoot and ultimately dispossess the player with the ball. The second defender (red 2) is the covering man, blocking the attacker's view of goal and is only there to cover the first defender, not make the tackle. After a shot or a tackle has been made the drill flips and restarts on the opposite side of the court with the other line.

Fast Break - Combination Pass ...

In this move the winger start with the ball and passes the keeper who returns the pass to the center back. At this point the wing back and the winger both make a forward run. Once the wing back receives the pass from the center back the defender is then free to run forward to put pressure on the wing back. The wing back must read the situation and decide on the best way to progress the attack. They can either pass the ball to the winger who has made a looping run behind them or they can carry the ball forward themselves for the shot on goal. Drill continues until a shot/interception has been made.
