Defend the Cone

.
 
Exercise Objectives:
This practice can be used to emphasize either attacking or defensive skills and tactics.
 
Field Preparation
   4 Players
   Area 10 yards x 10 Yards
   Cones or Flag poles
   Supply of  Balls
   Colored Bibs
 
Coaching Pointers:
Four players are placed in a square 10 x 10 yards. Players are numbered one through four. The players pass the ball around the square unrestricted.  When the coach shouts out a number, such as “One”, that player must defend the cone placed in the middle of the square. After several minutes the player return to passing the ball and the coach then calls out a new number.

Focus On:

   Realistic defending. Always stay in line between the cone and the ball.
   Quality passing techniques. Good disguise, pace and accuracy.
   Support with deep and wide angles
