Progression - team races with forfeits

Part Two - Ball Protection - Part A (6 minutes)

Group in pairs, one player is moving around area trying to protect/hide ball from defender...defender is passive but tries to get in the way...swap every 45 seconds.

Key Points

Check/scan shoulder - are you aware of where the space is / where the pressures coming from?

Use body to feel where defenders is / also to seperate/hide/protect ball from opponent...for example using back/torso/hips to seperate your opponent from the ball

Identify where the space is to exploit/accelerate away from defender

Part Two - Opposed - Part B (8 minutes)

6 players, 4 with a ball..the other 2 are support players...vs 4 defenders. The 6 players aim to keep possession of the 4 balls by either using their ball protection, turning or passing skills. Defenders aim to keep possession. Swap defenders every minute

Key Points

Reinforce technical detail from earlier practise

Decision making - protect/turn into space/pass to a teammate

Identyfing where the space is

Protecting/hiding the ball from opponent - use of body/individual outplaying skills/acceleration-decceleration skills and seperate ball from opponent

1v1 Carousel (20 mins)

Carousel of 1v1 practices...pressure from the side/pressure from behind...10 minutes on each practice then swap over

Pressure from side

Server plays into attacker..attacker scores 1 goal for dribbling through the gate (replicating dribbling out of pressure) or 2 goals for passing into mini goal (replicating passing to a teammate out of pressure). Defender gets 2 goals if they can win possession and dribble over white line

Key Points

Starting body position - are you able to receive off shoulders?

Body position - are you able to receive in a position to play forwards?

Receiving skills - wheres the space - hows the defender approaching you...are you able to use their momentum against them?

Use of turns/acceleration-decceleration and outplaying 1v1 skills to beat defender

Pressure from behind

Server plays to attacker...attackers scores 1 goal for dribbling through either gate (replicating dribbling out of pressure) or 2 goals for scoring in mini goal (replicating passing to teammate and bypassing press). Defender gets 2 goals for winning possession and dribbling over white line.

Key Points

Are you able to lose marker with clever movement (go-to-show, show-to-go)..if so can you receive open and attack defender.

Checking/scanning shoulder and using arm to feel where pressure is and where space is

If not (likely)...use body to protect/hide/seperate ball from defender...

Individual escaping moves...using body to spin and roll defender

Emphasis on using defenders momentum against them
