OFTEN USED WITH...

GK dancing:

3 Blue players pass ball to each other and attempt to pass the ball to a static player White 4 (varying types of passes). Defender Green 1 adjusts positioning according to the position of the ball and she attempts to intercept feed.

Progression:-

Attacker becomes a little more active.

Blue players make a smaller area so ball movement is quicker

Interception

Marking player and intercepting:

Blue 1 and 2 passing to each other. No. 3 is dodging from side to side. White 1 defends. Feed can come in at any time to no. 3 and defence attempts intercept.

Interception

1 vs 1 Defending in the Circle:

Slowly the two attackers pass the ball back and forth down the court towards the circle. The defender must move to the ball side of the player inside the circle.

The defender must remain on their toes and keep moving as the two attacking players can put the ball into the circle at any point.

Defence

Gladiators:

This drill works best with the full squad (10+ players).

One feeder stands at the side of each third of the court (white in the diagram). These players are on the same side as the attacker (red 1 in the diagram).

There are 2 defenders in each third (blue in the diagram).

Using just half the width of the court, Red 1 has to work their way down the court receiving three passes from the player at the side of the court, in each third.
