Attacker begins on the blue cone, and a defender on the orange. The attacker carries the ball around a flat marker (black line) and the defender goes around the other marker. The attackers goal is to pass the ball throughthe white coned gate, the defenders is to jump back, win the ball, then carry/pass through the black coned gate. All players at teh side are free to play as soon as the first attacker has gone around the flat marker. Attacking emphasis in this is Speed to Space. A) How quickly can we move into space with the ball B) Where is the space to play towards Defensive emphasis on Stick and Body Pressure. A) Can we put the attacker off/ make them feel under pressure? Progressions/Changes: Shift goals left or right. Could also angle them. Add another defender starting in the gate to make it 1 vs 2 situation Widen the flat markers to add in a more distinct change of direction for the attacker Make a left and right gate to go through. If the attacker goes through the oposite goal to the first flat marker they went around, counts as 2 points.
Questions to think about: Is our ball carry position allowing us to run as quick as we can? - Get the ball out infront of our body and outside our right foot. (Same if going to one hand) Do we always need the stick to be on the ball? - If there is space infront, could tap and run. Which angle is better to go round for the forward? - Right as the attacker looks at it. It is harder to tackle from the left shoulder for defenders How can we make this harder for the Defender? - Cut infront and disrupt the line the defenders has to run back. Ie, get in their way.
