Community | FOUR SQUARE – READING THE PLAY - 1

DESCRIPTION

Setup 4 squares - 1 Feeder, 2 x Attackers The first driver (the player in the middle of the cones) sets the basis for each repetition, with the worker then reading off that drive and moving into the best available space. If the driver moves forward into one of the front squares, the worker is able to move forward to receive. If the driver moves into one of the back squares, the worker must push off into the back space to receive on the circle. Complete 4-6 repetitions before rotating positions ADVANCE THE DRILL by adding a goaler, who must read off the worker and either drive out to receive, or stay in the circle to receive, depending on which space the worker drives into. ADVANCE THE DRILL further by adding defenders on the worker and goaler, to create added pressure. Progressively increase the defensive pressure. The worker and goaler may have to complete a couple of extra passes in order to get the ball on/into the circle.

COACHING POINTS

Encourage the worker to complete a preliminary move before making their final drive for the ball, as this will become important once defenders are added. The drill isn’t only for attacking players. Simply move the cones down to the defensive third and use the same concept for your WD/GDs.
