CROSSING GAME – Training Area Defense

When we face teams that load the box with wide crosses, our defenders must be ready to respond with confidence and efficiency. This drill is designed to develop exactly that.

Key objectives:

  • Maintain awareness of both space and opponents

  • Position the body correctly for each action

  • Be aggressive and decisive in duels

  • Keep a solid defensive alignment

The outcome: a team that is hard to break down in crossing situations, with center-backs who are confident and well-coordinated.

In addition, the drill is dynamic and engaging, keeping all players continuously involved, which boosts both intensity and focus throughout the exercise.
