Challenge & defend with gates

Challenge & defend with gates
© CoachTruly.com
Description

The drill is performed in pairs. Both players have their own gate goal.

The drill starts with passing between the pair. When the coach gives the signal, the player with the ball becomes the attacker and the player without the ball becomes the defender.

The objective is to dribble through the opponent's gate goal. When a tackle occurs, the roles switch. After completion, start over from the beginning.

Quality factors
Well-timed pressure and tackling attempt Quick reaction to tackles Body positioning Steering the attacker into a more difficult position / angle
Key questions
When is it worth going for the ball vs. steering away from the gate? Are you defending the gate or the ball – which is more important? Do you react immediately to the role change after a tackle?
