Hi Marie,
To help your shooters become free from defenders in the circle, consider incorporating the following drills into your training sessions:
Circle Edge Drive: This drill focuses on linking movement patterns up the court from the center pass. It involves sprinting to receive a pass on the circle edge and then passing to the shooter. Ensure passes are accurate and into space.
2 vs 1 Centre Pass: This drill helps attackers split defenders and set their body position to get free. It's a great way to practice getting free before crossing the line to receive the ball.
Swing for Passes: Set up two squares side by side and have attackers swing from side to side, trying to get free for every pass. This drill emphasizes holding space and stepping across the defender.
Landing Circle Edge: In this drill, attackers practice driving hard at a strong angle to receive the ball on the circle edge. It also involves practicing the shooter's hold.
These drills can enhance your shooters' ability to outmaneuver defenders and create space for effective shooting opportunities. You can find more details and coaching points for these drills on Sportplan.
Best,
Cam
