Jockey & Delay 1v1

Created using Tactics Manager

🔧 How to set up the activity:

  • 6x6 yard box, ball with coach.

Activity:

  • Coach dribbles around inside box.
  • Player “jockeys” — staying 1–2 yards away, matching movements.
  • Work 20–30 second intervals, then rest.
  • Progression: Add “escape” — coach tries to dribble out of box, player delays and stops.

Coaching points:

  • Stay low, knees bent, body angled.
  • Patience — force mistake rather than diving in.
  • Hands out for balance but no pushing.
