Lee Cooper, Xin and Richard Lewis thanks for your replies! These are all great ideas! Do you have any progressions for them or find they are at the right difficulty level?

The practice can move on to a 2v1, the same process but when the 2 attackers get to the half way line the defender can try to cut the passing line out whilst trying to edge the player with the ball away from danger, and choosing an opportunity to steal the ball.
The spare attacker can also work on finding space and timing thier movement to recieve a pass
Same did like Lee did, I recently progress to a 2v1 session. The player can use the defensive principles to cut the passing line and give more aggressive defense while the attacker back to them. Although my players are so young. I told them use the position wisely, and both use the legs and shoulders.
I also coach a U13 team. We always play defense as a group, deny, press, compact the space, and find the route to create counterattack when win the ball back. I don’t like to train tackle, like Pep. Hahaha~
the only thing im doing with this practice, is setting them up in each corner of the pitch and in the centre circle, hopefully this works on how different sides and areas of the pitch dictate where you direct the ball for saftey. I also explain how game relevant it can be
