Shuttle play – defending the penalty area
- 15 min
- 10–18 players
- 11v11
- Defending against shots
10–18 players, balls, area about 52x65 m (width of the penalty area, half pitch), bibs, cones, goal. The ball is played from one side of the pitch to the other, where a ball into the gold zone is delivered. The defenders must get into position and play the ball up to jokers. Progression – attackers.
What the coach should look for
- Get into position quickly with many players in the penalty area.
- Position yourself according to your role so you can attack the ball at a cross/ball in.
- Vary the deliveries, run at full speed.
