Tackling after a Flying Header

Setup

• 6 cones

• 2 big goals

• all available balls

The defender (A) plays a long, diagonal ball to the striker (B).

Player B controls the ball and dribbles towards player A.

While Player B aims to shoot on goal, player A is looking for a good tackle to prevent player B from scoring.

Coaching Points:

• If player A wins the ball, he can counterattack on the opposite goal.

• Players should chose the direct way to shoot on goal; give time-limits to teach effectiveness.
