Floor Defense To Offense

Get your players down and digging the ball, quickly turning defense into offense!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Balance and power:

In pairs with one ball, both players face each other in the squat position.

The players then have to push the ball at head height with two hands. Heels should not stay in contact with the floor.

On the coach's signal the players should start to push harder and jump in squat position with the aim of making their opponent lose balance.

The one to stay balanced three times wins
