Set Up

Area approx. 30 long & 10 wide. 2 defenders & 2 attackers (with feeder if possible).

Player A receives pass while running from feeder, and is marked by defender 1. Player B supports A and is marked by defender 2.

Defender 2 begins approx. 5m-10m back from player B, while defender 1 begins 20-25m back from player A.

Key Factors:

• Ball carrier a tries to beat defender 1 or at most remove him from a space for player B to move into - i.e. evasive running (angles & pace).

Player B runs around defender 2 (speed) or cuts inside him to receive a pass from a -i.e. (angle change).

Over load:

• Bring the 2 defenders closer i.e. defender 1 moves up closer to attackers.
• Reduce width and length of area.
• Defender 2 not conditioned to just attacker B
