I've recently instituted a pressure defence at Chichester Uni (thanks for the advice, Dave). Today we brought it out in a game for the first time. Our team had several freshers, including one of the longsticks. Eventual score was 5-3, and that includes conceding 2 quick goals in about 3 minutes in the fourth quarter. For the first 3 quarters Portsmouth were reduced to outside shots, which as an inexperienced side they weren't too successful with.
I've found the zone easier for the new guys to pick ip than man defence. You don't have to worry too much about slide packages and so forth, you don't have to be as quick as the attackers and it's pretty hard for them to get an inside shot. Next step is pressuring at X...
