2v2

CoachTruly

Description: 2v2 drill focusing on defenders' actions. The drill starts with a ball from the goalkeeper to an attacker on the sideline of the field. One player from each attacking and defending line participates. When defenders win the ball, they try to score in the small goal.
Coaching key points: 1. defender guides the attacker towards the sideline or away from goal. 2. defender provides support and marks the second attacker / covers the passing lane. Encourage attackers to challenge boldly and look for shooting opportunities.
Key questions: How do I guide the attacker to the side / away from the scoring position? How can the 2nd defender support the 1st defender?
