2v2 Channeling & Interception Drill

The first defender presses the ball carrier, decelerates, and cuts off the forward channel to force a predictable square pass, allowing the second defender to read the cue, anticipate the passing lane, and step in to intercept.

Key points

  • First defender applies immediate pressure, decelerates, and shows the attacker outside or sideways
  • Deny forward passing lanes completely, making the square or backward pass obvious
  • Second defender reads the first defender's body language and the ball carrier's intent to step in and win the pass

Common mistakes

First defender failing to show a distinct direction, allowing the attacker to split the defense with a penetrating pass.
