Defend the box

Defend the box: the set-up from above

How it works

Attackers cross and shoot, defenders protect the box and clear the ball. Points for clearances out of a zone. Under-12s: no heading; cross along the ground or below the waist.

Make it easier

Fewer attackers

Make it harder

More attackers; quicker crosses

Less planning. More coaching.
