1 v 1 to the cone. Attack has to try and pass the ball to hit/knock over the cone. Defender has to stop them and win the ball to become the attacker.
Progressions:
– Can start with defender only defending and not trying to win the ball (taking it in turns to see which attacker can get the most points)
– 2 v 1 to cone
Key points:
Defending technique (jockeying)
– Tactical points (show towards weak foot etc)
– Slow down attacker
– Stop attacker turning if facing the other way
