Description

Coaching Points:

1.) Angle your approach to channel attacker

2.) Jab step - the last step forward is also the first step backwards

3.) Challange for the ball after the attacker takes their touch

4.) Quick feet and keep them close to the ground

5.) Not too close and not too far away from the attacker

6.) Do not lunge in for the ball (stab)

Set Up:

1.) Groups of three and two balls

2.) Defender passes to attacker and closes them down

3.) Shadow (jockey) attacker until they dribble to the opposite side

4.) Defenders do not steal the ball to start

5.) Once attacker reaches the other side, the players switch roles

Rules:

1.) After defender plays the ball to the attacker, they defender jockeys the attacker working on staying goal side and that their spacing is correct

2.) Make sure that the defender is working on back peddling and being side-on (not facing straight forward)

3.) As the defenders start to get better positioning, then you can have them try and steal the ball

4.) Defenders should be working on being patient (control and restraint)
