MATCH (Working on defensive cover/balance)
- Level:
- Intermediate
- Duration:
- 30 min
- Recommended age:
- ["senior"]
Description
Objective: - Work on defensive cover and balance. Conditioning rule: - Red team always restarts play. Notes: - When the full-back leaves their position, the nearest pivot drops into that space to provide cover, while the other pivot balances the center with the center-backs. - If a cross is possible, the pivot furthest from the ball drops between the center-backs. - Pivots must maintain awareness of players in front and behind them. - The ball-side pivot shifts to create at least numerical equality, while the other pivot balances the center.
