GS/GK in circle and have the whole circle. Middie A and D on either side of the third but only have the half width each. Feeder on transverse line either side. Work with one pair one side, then swap to other GK/GS Objective is to try get ball to GS as early as possible. Progression: 2v 1 in the circle Now the middies all have the full width to use. One of the middie defenders is a GD, and should drop on the 2v1. Attackers still looking to get ball in early. GS need to close off 1 defender and beat the other. Progression: Add in a GA and defence on the reset The 2v1 on the GS. 2 attacking and 2 defending middies. GA must start outside the circle. Reset players are A and D. Progression: Lengthen the court Working from a C pass Take to goal and score.It then becomes a backline. Take past the 2nd transverse line to score. If intercepted either way, work to score line. Play for 4 minutes with team chat at 2.5 minutes. Keep score
⢠Small working space for the middies is to replicate how it feels to play against Australia. ⢠Attacker to identify where sheâs going to be best placed to get that ball in â how will she create that space â shift the defender â what definite movement is she making so feeder knows where she wants ball. ⢠Must always look in to GS immediately and release if on. ⢠Sight the defender and place away. ⢠GS needs to shift the defender and make the space obvious as middie turns to look to send ball. ⢠Defender to work to keep middie high and wide, with quick arms over to obstruct easy pass. ⢠GK to confuse the space, be ball side, dicate the GS away from side that feeder is on. Feet around to challenge on every pass into circle.

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
