Screen 1

Dealing with 2nd ball (Individual)


Blue and Black are working players (for x amount of time). 


Ball clipped/thrown from red target into target opposite - headed into play and game is live. Black goes N-S for points, Blue goes E-W.


Aim: Secure 2nd ball and play into your opposite target for 3 point. Playing into other outside player (other than server) just gets 1 point. Can reduce outside to just 2 targets and both Blue and Black go North/South to make it harder. Intermediate - replace side target players with pug nets. 


Shaded grid keeps targets realistic distances


Coaching Points:

- Anticipation

 - Good starting position

- Compete

- Use of body

- Dark arts

- secure or secure then eliminate or eliminate with first touch(es)


Can progress to 2v2/3v3 inside the grid

Regular SSG - players locked in zones. 


If you use the neutrals in your defensive third when building out, they have to go long into your attacking third.
