Coach will call a Number - in this case , "number 1"! - Player will dribble acroos the field at 50% - keeping control and allowing defenders to close down and "step, drop, step, cover"
Principles of defending : Pressure, cover, balance, and compactness
Defenders do not take ball away - working as a unit.
Coach shouts any number and defending team will close the player down as a team. (1st defender, 2nd defender, balance etc.
Progression: Coach shouts two numbers and first number called brings ball. 2 v 4 to goal.

Activity #1: Warm Up
Players move from one end to the other working one line of cones at a time. Coach will direct - "step!" - Players close down cones on line (1) NOTE: Correct playres body movement and technique. Close down at speed - on an angle - knees slightly bent
Coach will quickly direct again - "step left!" - Players will move up one line and to the left.
Coach can also change things up by saying "Drop!" - making all players drop to the previous line and stay on their toes for next command.
Work the group of defenders until they reach line 4 and they can rest and next group proceeds.
Objective: To have players respond to communication and work as one unit. Repeat the technique of closing a player down at speed and on an angle.
