In this unique resource we look at teaching defensive skills specific to different components of pressing in a game. Our 20 high-tempo exercises are designed to focus on a variety of defensive principles for younger age groups. By working through the exercises, coaches will have an opportunity to establish and communicate key defensive techniques to individuals, as well as introducing the role of second defender and defensive units. All of the exercises are easily adapted to offer players different pictures, experiences and challenges. There is space for each coach to look at the work and adapt to suit their team and coaching style.
