Ball-Oriented Defending

  • Organisation

    • Cones to mark the playing field
    • 2 goals
    • Divide players into pairs (2-player teams).

  • Process

    The game starts with 2 against 2. Every time a pair concedes a goal, a new pair from the same team starts with the ball on the field. If a round takes too long, both pairs leave the field. After the ball goes out of play, the goalkeeper puts a new ball into play.

  • Tip

    Coaching Points

    • The player near the ball pushes out, and the player away from the ball provides cover in a slight depth formation in the center. • If the ball is played sideways, the two defenders switch positions.

  • Field size

    Double the size of the penalty area.
