Sportplan is fantastic with all the various drills for every area...

Julie

DESCRIPTION

Players work in pairs and number themselves 1 and 2 inside a 5 by 5 metres grid.

The coach tells player number 2 to try and get away from player 1 so that when the coach says "Stop" player 1 is unable to touch player 2.

Reverse the roles, with player 1 trying to get away from player 2 for when the coach calls "Stop".

COACHING POINTS

If the chasing player can touch the player who is trying to get free they score 2 points.

If the players getting free is successful they score 1.

Dodging:

Split players into 4s inside a coned area. The attackers (white) start with the ball on the outside of the playing area.

To begin with White 2 feints a movement one way and then sprints in opposite the direction (to begin with use a passive defender).

After white 1 has passed the ball, she then has to do a feint dodge and run in opposite direction to receive the ball.

Try to get 3 / 5 passes in a row before possession changes.

Get away!:

Split your players into 3s and select 2 lines on the court (ideally getting players to work within a third of the court each).

On the whistle the attacker (white) sprints to either line. The attacker should use a sudden change of direction and sprint to receive the ball from the feeder, away from the defender who is marking them.
