Does anyone have a good exercise for under 11 to encourage closing down of the ball?

Kenneth Elliott over 1 year ago

I run an under 11 development team moving into their second season.

They are progressing well but struggling with closing down the ball when defending.

Does anyone have any fun drills I can try?

Hi Kenneth,

Dividing the pitch into either halves or thirds and rewarding a team double goals for winning the ball back in half and scoring. Most players love scoring goals so this should hopefully incentivise pressuring the ball. Good session on England learning YouTube channel called ‘press for success’
