Sound advice.
Add to that, keep pressing forwards! Lot's of players tend to stop and set themselves or just don't press forwards much. Closing down the space and pressuring the attack can really disrupt what they are doing - messes with their timings and everything.

What activities are folks using to train the Drift?
I've typically just used a full backline attack vs. defense (or 4 v 4), and have the attack players spin the ball wide. The defense just work on form (not over-pursuing, not getting the hips squared with the touchline), and their defensive keys (i.e., when the attacker passes).
Any other suggestions/ideas?

wrt training the drift.
saw this done by Paul Hull once...
in a channel, set 1 v 2, 2 v 3 etc. only rule is attackers cannot pass back inside.
This really illustrates how closing space (up) and drifting (over) can be effective at defending an overload.

Thanks, Didds. I guess the D working against superior numbers would be the best way to train it, wouldn't it!

nipper... sorry, yes. The whole point is to demonstrate through use that inferior numbers can strill defende successfully, and that the far touchline is your friend. Apologies, I rather rushed my last post and left this info out :-)
The rule to not pass back inside is merely to allow the defense to succeed, as otherwise 3 v 2 should ALWAYS score in anything other than a very narrow space once the drift in this manner has been started.
In fact, with a good closure of space between the two backlines two could probably defend successfully against four even with little problem.
cheers

No worries, Didds -- thanks, it was helpful and reminded me of some basic principles that I was neglecting! I can also work up some variations on this as well.
