Great site. An absolute must for coaches who are willing to change...

Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

This is one of the moves I wanted my team to see before the training session because. We are playing a 2 2 defence ( with 2 line man)

COACHING POINTS

Key points.

That the back up player does run up to dummy take the drag flick.

The stick stopper waits for the slip until this player is passed the ball

and the slip player has to start pretending to be the striker and drift left. and on receiving the ball this player needs to drag the ball 2 - 3 m before theslip right. ( to avoid the 2nd runner ( so don't pass it to early)

Player scoring has to stay very low and face the direction of the pass with stick on the ground ( deflect the ball rather then trying to play the ball)

OFTEN USED WITH...

The Drawbridge:

Line up for the short corner as shown above. The ball is pushed out to the stopper at the top. The striker then moves the ball to the right. Blue 4 looks like they are going to take the ball but dummies over the top of the ball and leaves it for blue 6.

Blue 6 picks up the ball and drives to the goal line before laying the ball back to score.

Set Pieces

Short Corner Defence 3 - 1:

Setup the defence as shown with 2 defenders inside the goal on either post.

In front of them are two runners.

Once the ball is injected Player 1 runs to the top of the circle, with player 2 running 3/4s of the way on their right hand side to cover the slip left. Player runs out on Player no 1s left hand side and runs level with Player 2. Player 4 comes 3 to 4 paces off the line to sweep the pads of the goalkeeper.

Set Pieces

Open play short corner:

Set up as shown in the picture. The ball is pushed out towards the top of the circle, but on this occasion the stopper dummies to stop the ball but leaves it for the player backing up (Blue 7).

This player picks up the ball and passes the ball to the right (Blue 4), who in turn takes the ball into the circle to draw the defender before passing to the unmarked attacker (s) on either of the posts.

Set Pieces

The German:

Players must set up as shown in the diagram. The ball is pushed out to the stopper at the top of the circle. The striker (Blue 3) picks up the ball and moves left and draws the runner (s) before passing to Blue 4 who has run into a position around the penalty spot. Blue 4 then deflects the ball back towards the striker that has run in a straight line towards the goal. The striker then lifts the ball over the prone goalkeeper.

Blue 6 runs into the far post to give another option if the move breaks down.
