Coaching Concept:Collapse The Defence
In this Drill the goal is not to concede goal, by collapsing the Defence .
Set up a 3 v 4 as in the animation. Start the ball moving, and at any time the ball is with the attackers, blow the whistle to start the attack.
Coach the defence to retreat( Collapse) while also taking control by pushing the attack down one side.
The key coaching point is to get your body position right ( and stay open an big, denying the centre channel), and don't get beat.
The other 2 payers must move back also in tandem with ball and the first Defender, again denying easy ball to the middle. Facing and Scanning man and ball at all times is another key coaching point to hightlight.
