2v2 - Mark the Space, not the ...

After being passed the ball by the feeder/coach the attackers (blue 2 and blue 3) try to pass their way past the defenders. In this drill the two attackers can attack anywhere, and can overlap and swap positions at will in order to try and get past the defenders. The defenders however must mark the space, not the players, and so must communicate between one another so that both players are always marked, while ensuring that they don't change places.

Players line  up a few meters behind the 7 meter line where a cone is placed on the floor. The wide player (blue 2) passes the ball to the player waiting in line who then runs forward to the cone. When they reach the cone players should be slightly to the left or the right of the cone. Before being allowed to shoot players must 'get past the cone' using an effective dummy, cutting around the other side of the cone before shooting. <br />variations :<br />- 3 step rythm (right handers : left,right,left and left handers : right,left,right)<br />- 2 step or even in 1 step<br />- jumping off : left handers : right foot, right handers : left foot<br />- jump off with your 'wrong' foot (1,2,3 steps)

Defensive stance 323 defenders...

As players run forward to defend they should think about their stance and approach: They should take small, fast steps (never jump) to avoid over-committing. Approach diagonally, facing towards the ball, and angling their body to direct their opponent away from the goal area. Keep their arms open, wide and high. Stand on the balls of their feet with knees slightly bent.

General

Quick Pass, Shoot and Hop 559 ...

Set up two groups on each side of the court. Players in group 1 start with the ball on the corner. Player 1 passes the ball out to player 2 who shoots on goal. After the shot both players run to the benches where they perform a series of quick jumps before joining the back of the opposite line on the other side of the court. Drill continues from other side of court.

Debbie Cross Australia

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
