1 v 1 to the cone. Attack has to try and pass the ball to hit/knock over the cone. Defender has to stop them and win the ball to become the attacker.

Progressions:

– Can start with defender only defending and not trying to win the ball (taking it in turns to see which attacker can get the most points)

– 2 v 1 to cone

Key points:

Defending technique (jockeying)

– Tactical points (show towards weak foot etc)

– Slow down attacker

– Stop attacker turning if facing the other way
