how do the feeders participate in this drill?

Defenders Dictating Play

DESCRIPTION

Create a narrow channel for 2 attackers and 2 defenders to work in, from the centre circle to the end of court. Have a feeder on each side of the channel; both able to move along the side. Attackers are attempting to play the ball over the baseline. Defenders are focusing on keeping the attackers high or forcing them to make as many passes as possible. (The more passes the attackers are forced to make the better. This is because they are more likely to make errors under fatigue and gives the defenders more opportunities to intercept.) Points Attackers pass the ball over the baseline = 1 point to Attackers Defender intercepts the ball =1 point to Defenders Best of 5

Hi Matt,

It looks like the feeders operate in the outside channel as an outlet for the attacking side to use and pass into. Defenders may force the attacking side to play wide into the feeders by cutting out their passing option to the other attacker in the inside circle.

Essentially, the feeders role it to accompany the attack and offer a passing option out wide.

Hope this helps.
