DEFENDING IN A LOW BLOCK

 

The low block is a defensive system where the players defend very deep in their own territory and restrict the space for opposition players to exploit. It is a more static form of defence, as there is not much movement compared to a team playing with high pressing intensity.

The idea behind this section is to provide exclusive video footage of leading coaches providing drills and guidance in relation to defending deep and as a unit when facing waves of continued attack. The key aim is to frustrate the opposition and to protect the goal at all costs.
