SII Small Sided Activity "Defensive Shifting"

-Attackers pass the ball back and forth across their zone in sequence (A1, A2, A3 to A4, etc).

-Defenders travel with the ball (e.g., when A2 has the ball, D2 pressures the ball, D1 and D3 cover, and D4 provides balance.

-Attackers must take no more than two touches.

-Add two or three small goals on the far side (behind the defenders). Defenders try to deny any passes through the small goals.

Coaching Points:

-Speed and angle of the pressuring player

-Positioning of covering and balancing defenders

-Immediate pressure on the ball to deny penetration

-Verbal and visual communication
