Take a look at this submission from Tommy in the UK. A great example of [tag]free defensive drills for football[/tag] that can work with all age groups.
From Tommy
The Angle of Attack drill has dramatically helped my defence get to the ball. In this [tag]football drill[/tag] there is a running back and an entire [tag]football defense[/tag].
The [tag]football coach[/tag] blows the whistle and the running back takes off towards the end zone. The coach blows the whistle a second time and when the defence hears the second whistle they chase after the running back from their position until some one just touches the running back. The running back and the person who touched him stops and starts to chop their feet. The other defensive players all run to the spot where the running back is chopping his feet and chop their feet in a circle around the running back until the coach blows the whistle a third time. Then the defence go back to their original positions in the line up.
It is a fantastic way to teach your defence to get to the ball and not to rely on one [tag]football[/tag] player to make the play.
