LOGINWarm-up: Recover and regroup
This session develops players out-of-possession, working on delaying, denying and dictating.
WHY USE IT
While the main focus of the session is to focus on out-of-possession recovery, we want some good, quick attacking football to defend against. These 1v1 challenges give every player the chance to apply pressure, force transitions, and counter attack.
SET UP
Lay out channels with end zones, around 15-20 yards long, with varying widths.
HOW TO PLAY
In pairs, play 1v1 for 30-60 seconds. Each successful carry into the end zone scores a point. When the time is up, the player who scored the most points moves up to the next channel, and the other player either stays where they are or moves down.
TECHNIQUES
Pressure: Can you get close to limit time and space for the ball-carrier?
Delay: Can you slow your opponent to limit their scoring chances in the time?
Dictate: Can you push your opponent back towards their end zone, or wide to the edges of the channel? Differing channel widths will require different decision-making
360 vision: Can you scan and place yourself in the channel to help dictate play?
