022 - 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 defense with quick adjustment to subsequent actions

Level: High

This training unit focuses on improving the defense 1-on-1 and 2-on-2 in small groups. Following warm-up and a tag game, the players enter the ball familiarization phase which will involve typical defense movements. This is followed by an individual defense exercise with quick adjustment and the goalkeeper warm-up shooting. The main part of the training unit combines 1-on-1 actions with 2-on-2 subsequent actions both in width and depth. A final sprint completes this training unit.
