Recovering defender (15 mins)

20 x 35 yard area, attackers attacking on large goal, defenders counter to two smaller goals.

Coach plays ball into 3 attackers vs 2 defenders, after 5 seconds recovering defender can join play to make it 3 v 3

Progressions

1) Increase the amount of time before recovering defender can join

2) Start with one defender, with two recovering defenders in increments they may come and help

Coaching Points

1)players are encouraged to drop off and take space away while still taking away the shooting/passing lane

2) Sheppard players away from goal until help arrives
