Spring 2010 Travel Soccer Focus - Defending
All Travel coaches should be prepared to teach their players the proper technique to defend in 1 v 1 situations as well as team defending.
The above document will take each coach through a series of drills that can be used weekly at practice.
For the novice coach, I suggest staying basic and using the 1 v 1 and 2 v 2 drills and build up to the team defending drills once you are comfortable with the basic technique.
Lastly, there are a plethora of drills out on the web for defending. If you come across one that may be helpful please post it as a comment below.
Thanks.
Coach
