3v1+1: Pressure w/ Recovering Defender (30 mins)

Org.: 16Wx25L, 2 teams w/ 1 GK
Obj.: Play starts with pass to static attacker. When attacker receives the pass, 1st defender becomes live and attempts to delay the attack, while 2nd defender (top) tries to recover. If defenders win the ball, look to pass to mini goal

Prog.: 1. Add offsides line; 2. Add recovering defenders

Coach Pts./Ques.: 

1st Defender:

- Pressure the ball immediately to slow the attack (brings up he offsides line); Force them in one direction to cut off supporting players (allows time & gives direction to the 2nd defender as to where to help out)

2nd Defender:

- Recover straight back into danger area (get behind the ball & first defender); Close enough to first defender that would be able to deal with the 1st defender getting beat
