DESCRIPTION

Both wide players take it in turns to throw at the goal.

Once the keeper has gathered the ball the ball from one step, and as quickly as possible, the keeper should pass the ball out into the run of the red players.

COACHING POINTS

Look for quick handling from the keeper and good over the shoulder running from the forward players - watching for the pass and ready to catch the ball and continue up the court until they reach the cone.

After a few repetition swap player roles.

Defence to Attack:

The attackers line on both sides if the court, each with a ball, and take it in turns to run forwards, take the ball round the defender and have a half pace shot on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball).

As soon as the defender sees the keeper make the save they then make their move up field - presenting themselves as a passing option for the keeper.

The keeper should then release the ball into the path of the break-away defender who then moves up field to the centre line before then jogging to rejoin the back of the line to go again.
