Lesson Plan: Zone Defence - Saturate the Centre Third

Zone Defence - Saturate the Centre Third

Saturate the centre third from dead ball situations, looking for the interception from the word go, and don't give your opposition a single easy pass!
OFTEN USED WITH...
Intercept - Strike like a ninja | Interception

Intercept - Strike like a ninja:

Two players are passing the ball between them in a consistent rhythm.

The defender stands behind one of the attackers and has to try and time their move to get in front and intercept the ball. Following the successful interception the defender passes the ball to the opposite player and then runs to the other side, ready to intercept again!

Interception
Position Learning | Warm ups

Position Learning:

Players jog, hop or skip around the outside of the court.

When the coach (player X) calls a position all players have to run to that area of the court.

Warm ups
Power jumps | Interception

Power jumps:

Players work in pairs, with one ball between them.

Facing each other the player without the ball drives forward, taking 5 steps forwards and then 5 steps back before then receiving a high pass from their partner.
