(PDP) Retreating Defence
Practice organisation
• Full pitch with boxes marked by cones set-out,
as illustrated.
• 8 players, arranged 2Reds & 2Blues in centre circle, plus 2Reds &
2Blues who serve as target players, one in each of the 4 boxes,
as shown. 1 ball.
• Practice starts with: 4 players in centre circle pass randomly.
• Either Reds or Blues initiate attack with one player breaking from
circle supported by team mate, looking to gain entry into the
target box.
• Opposing player in circle, closest to box being attacked; drops-off
to defend against the counter (1v2).
• Defender delays attack whilst team mate from circle recovers from
behind ball (to make 2v2).
• Players in possession can only pass (below head height) through
front of box or run ball into box.
• If recovering players gain possession: they pass to either of their
target players located in boxes to conclude practice.
• Practice recommences with players from circle & boxes alternating
position & changing point of attack from circle.
Detail
• D presses ball, deflecting play away from supporting A.
• Body shape of D: low stance, split feet, changing
feet as appropriate, shoulders forward.
• Staying inside line of ball & goal.
• Attempt to tackle off front foot & remain on balance,
if not successful.
• Simple progression for this practice is:
- A’s have to score within a time frame (e.g. 6 seconds).
Key coaching points
• Quick realisation & reaction to movement of players from
centre circle.
• Initial D engages attack early without becoming isolated too far from
defensive box.
• D denies space, delays progress, deflects ball to defend target box
whilst recovering D makes ground.
• Recovering D engages ball if possible on his
recovery run.
• Once recovery is complete: defend with two as required
