Practice 1 (25 mins)

Objective: Work on various techniques on how to defend in a 1v1 situation.

Set up: Set up as many stations as needed, as shown. Progress from exercise 1 to exercise 2.

Instructions: Exercise 1, the defender comes to the player on the ball, receives a pass (passes back) and then backpedals back to the start, in a defensive stance. Switch roles, make it competitive and be creative with the ball-work/passing. Exercise 2, the attacking player dribbles toward the defender and the defender backpedals in a defensive stance. Do the same thing, just reverse roles. After a few reps, introduce standing tackles.

Key words: Keep your eyes on the ball, stay balanced in a "surfing" position, show one direction or the other.

Guided Questions: 1. Why do we need to stay balanced? 2. How do we decide which side to show? 3. When do we "stab" or tackle the ball?

Answers: 1.In order to stay mobile and react to the attackers moves. 2. We decide based on space, support and the where the goal is. 3. When there's a bad touch or when the ball gets away from the attacker.
