TAKE ON YOUR MAN Attacking & Defending 2 Drills STEVEN Poacher Clinic 19th Jan 2022

TACKLING AND ATTACKING ACTIVITY
In this activity from Ciaran McKeever's defensive work at Steven Poacher's Coaching Clinic.... here he places the
players in groups as shown with a forward facing off against a defender.
There is a slight variation in the way the players set out in both activities.
In the first they set off facing in same direction and defender tries stop forward getting through the cones and scoring.
In the second the defender meets the forward at a different angle so that
he is facing the on-rushing player....
Both variations are important as in a match situation the defender will regularly be tracking a forward while running alongside and also while running out to meet him...
A good tip here is for the defender to try and get up as quickly as possible to the forward so the forward has very little space once he turns around the cone and is headed for goal...
