DESCRIPTION

One defender dribbles with ball into the area in which two attackers are waiting to tackle for the ball. On winning the ball the two attackers run out of the area to try and score a goal. The defender can run back and try and stop them. When the attack has finished the two previous attackers become the defenders and start the exercise again.

COACHING POINTS

Spare defender should attempt to delay the fast break, allowing the second defender to get back into position

The defender should work hard after the turn over. Any sort of pressure will effect the quality of the forwards shot

Forwards should work as a pair to win the ball back. Communication key

Box Break:

Defender dribbles with ball into the area in which two attackers are waiting to take the ball (the attackers have to tackle for the ball). On winning the ball the two attackers run out of the area to try and score a goal. The defender can run back and try and stop them. When the attack has finished one of the two previous attackers becomes the defender and starts the exercise again.

Scoring on the break

Quick break:

3 v 2 set up.

A defender inside the circle passes to one of the attacking players outside the 23m line.

On doing so the three attackers try and break quickly to score past the defence.

Scoring on the break

Fast break 3v2:

Team 1 attacks team 2. Player on the 23m line starts with the ball and attacks the two defenders from team 2 (while this attack goes on team 3 gets in position to defend against team 2). When team 1 scores or team 2 wins the ball the wide player on the 23m line starts the attack. The other two players from team 2 have to run and support. Best ploy is for the player on the 23m line to hold the ball or run infield along the 23m line to allow the 2 supporting players to join in the attack.

Scoring on the break

4v2 break:

One of the four defenders in the circle passes the ball from inside the circle to the 4 forwards on the half way line.

As the moment of the pass two defenders have to run around one of the cones on the 23m line before they can defend, the other two defenders can defend straight away.Â
