• Play 2v2
• make players "beat" the defender before shooting (no 25 yrd bombs)

Offensive:

• Attack defender with speed
• Quick explosion to get away
• Try to get behind the defender
• Shoot at any half-chance.

Defensive:

• Close down quickly
• Force the attacker to the weak side
• Break it down
• Close the attacker down.
• Remember Fast, Slow, Outside, Low. Fast - approach the attacker with speed. Slow - when the defender gets close to the attacker, the defender must slow their run and start stepping back with the attacker. Outside - force the attacker to the outside. Low - low center of gravity and get player low.
