2 v 2 Tackle & Poach
Two defenders working together to maximize poaching opportunity. Defenders must make solid 1 v 1 tackles and be mindful to get back on feet quickly to assist poaching teammate. Poaching teammate must have sufficient awareness to recognize poaching opportunity and get to the ball ASAP.
Key points:
Poaching defender get to breakdown quickly;
Tackler gets back on his feet quickly and shields the poacher by positioning himself shoulder to shoulder his teammate (poacher)
Together a solid base is formed to prevent attacking team from regaining possession.
