Skills

Preliminary Moves & Passing, Defensive Moves.

Purpose

2 v 2 in a confined space requires attackers to work hard using preliminary moves, while defenders apply pressure.

Difficulty

Basic

Groups of

Balls/grp

Cones

Setup
For each group of 4, create a 6m square. Pair-up within the group so there are 2 attackers and 2 defenders.
Step 1
Attackers must work the ball around inside the square, passing to one another. Defenders Defenders concentrate on close marking (double defence / sagging defence is disallowed)

Attackers use techniques such as straight lead - dodge - roll-off - roll-around# to get away from their defender.

Held ball rule applies
Step 2
Once a turnover occurs, defenders become attackers. Pause briefly for a rest, then restart.
Step 3
Progression: Bring the cones in 1m each diagonally so the playing area is 4m square.

Now it's more difficult for attackers to find space.
