Kiri, Coach

DESCRIPTION

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Pass and Drive

Set up: 1 ball, shooting third, 4 lines of players

The ball starts with player on middle of transverse line (A).

Player from the line midway down sideline (B), drives in front of A to receive a pass.

Player B passes from middle of the third/top of the circle on a diagonal out to player standing at the corner of transverse and sideline intersection (C).

Player B joins line player C is from. Player C delivers ball to a player (D) who has driven from baseline corner to the edge of the circle. At the same time player D drove out, another player (E) from the same line drives into the circle.

Player D delivers ball to player E in the circle. Players D and E act as WA/C and GS/GA feeding in and out of circle. Player E may choose to put up a shot.

Player E delivers ball back to starting point A.

COACHING POINTS

Four lines of players:

1. Middle of transverse line

2. Halfway down sideline

3. Intersecting corner of sideline and transverse

4.Bottom left corner of court.

Players need to be aware of drill movements and balance each corner as the drill progresses.

Pass, Get and Takeoff:

Pass and Get

Set up: 5+ players, 1 ball, 1/3 space

Two lines of players (one behind each other) face a stationary feeder.

Front two players from each line drive out on a diagonal towards sideline.

Feeder delivers ball to one of the drivers. The player who did not receive the ball is to drive towards the player with the ball and receive a pass.

The player who received the first pass the drives towards the stationary feeder to get an âinterceptâ.

The player who intercepted now becomes the stationary feeder for the next two players who drive out. Both of the other players involved go to the back on the line.

Small games

Cut and drive:

*AUDIO DISCRIPTION ON*

Set up: 1 ball, one third space, 1 feeder in between 2 lines of partners.

Two players to drive out straight from baseline to top of the circle (approx.) they turn and drive out on a V to the side channels where the feeder passes ball to one of the drivers.

The driving player who did not receive the ball is to cut back to the top of the circle (middle channel) and receive pass from their partner.

The partner now without the ball cuts back into the middle channel to receive a straight pass from their partner.

Ball is returned to stationary feeding player.

Decision making

4 Corners - Short Long:

One ball, 1/3 space, 6 players.

4 feeders form a square.

1 defender and 1 attacker work in the middle of the square.

Attacker is to pass and recieve one short pass and one long pass from each corner.

Movement

Circle Edge End Drill:

End drill â Feeding into circle

Set up: four corners of 2-3 players, 1 ball, goal third end of court.

Aim for the two groups of players on transverse line to hit the circle edge and feed ball into the circle to a shooter with a defending player.

Bottom left corner (A) player drives out along sideline. Receives a pass from the defending player in the circle.

Player from top left corner (B) drives straight into the court to receive a pass from the sideline player.

Player B passes back to player A and drives towards the circle edge where player A delivers a long ball to player B as close to the circle edge they can get. Player A joins line where player A started.

Player from top right corner (C) drives to circle edge to help feed pass into player D who has driven from bottom right corner into the circle as shooter.

Player B joins line player C started in. After player C delivers final pass to shooter, player C joins bottom right corner. Essentially, all players rotate anticlockwise around the 4 corners.
