This week sees the players who attend the St Neots and Yaxley PDC participate in the following topic;

Defending when disorgainzed

All players will be working on the following Learning Objectives,

Defensive Priorities - 1) Stop the other team from scoring then 2)To win the ball back
Nearest player to press the ball and delay (if they cannot win the ball)
Body shape of nearest defender or positioning of others to prevent an overload being used
Deny important spaces (e.g. protect centra areas, force the other team away from the goal, body shape to cut out passes, etc.)
Recovery runs - quickest way to protect the goal - straight lines towards the goal
Recover shape as quickly as possible

Please see below a clip of how to defend when disorganised including what not to do with your first action,
