Organization:

Area: 20y x 15y. Small goals in the corners. Players start in the corners. Play begins with a pass from the defender to either attacker. Continue play when the ball goes over the sideline. Switch sides after a goal is scored or the ball goes over the end line. Keep track of the score.

Focus Points:

1st Defender - Who and What?

• Approach the attacker quickly, slow down when you get close.

• Angled position, low in the knees, elbows bent, quick feet with small steps,

• Force the attacker to the sideline.

• Win the ball back at the right moment.  Don’t stop defending after you get beat. You never know!

2nd Defender:

• The 2nd defender should position himself so that he can pressure the ball if the 1st defender is beaten, and be able to “close the space” on the 2nd attacker when he receives.

• Roles switch when the ball gets passed to the other attacker.

• Communication: Yell out "Blitz" or "Pressure" after losing the ball. The Five Second Rule.

Attackers:

• Keep the field wide.

• Dribble or pass?
