DESCRIPTION

WA starts wide drawing the WD with her. GA also starts wide.

The GA drives should time their run in court to receive the ball.

The WA drives in court to receive the pass from the C who then runs up court to receive the return pass.

The C then catches the ball and plays to the GA who has made the run to the other side to lose their marker and then passes to the GS to complete the move.

C - WA - C - GA - GS

COACHING POINTS

Attacking Centre Pass:

GA and WA start on the line squeezing their defenders into the middle.

Has to be two options therefore both players have to sprint off the line on the whistle.

Attack the Top of the D:

The winger players passes the ball into the centre and then runs to the first blue cone

3 straight forward running evasions:

1. Double cut back:

WA runs one way, stops abruptly and changes direction before again changing direction for a second time to go and meet the pass.

2. Cut back:

WA runs one way, stops quickly - changes direction and runs into space to meet the pass.

3. Double bluff:

WA runs and stops, making it look as though they are going to cut back before continuing their run in the direction they were already running to meet the pass.
