This rotation/movment involves one attacking shooter moving to ball and the other to post, which can work well against zone defence/off-body defence by commiting the defenders high and low. One goaler at post, the other towards the ball, feeders around the outside. initially not passing the ball in as the goalers practise the movement. Progressions: Add in a pass (not every time). This should be to a moving player, never to static player. If outside goaler recieves ball, they should always look in, but initially not throwing to post, will swing again. Progression: âFeedersâ moving around, on and off circle edge Progression: Add in defenders Progression: GA starts from outside the circle â look at how that player entry may vary and how GS may react to that as well as the ball.
Definite movements to commit the defender Types of movement - drives, clears, change of pace Timing of movement - offers need to be staggered - ideally player heading to post slightly later Reading off each other / communication

in more ways than one
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.
