3v2

Essence:

- Work on small unit play and making connections moving forward.

Structure:

- A passes to defender 1 who passes to B.

- From here we play a 3v2 with defender 2 and C starting high in the circle

.- C needs to make leads to create a passing opportunity for A and B.

- Defender 2 needs to try and stop that from happening, 1 is looking to hold up play.

Variation:

- Add an extra defender and make it a 3v3.

Technical Points:

- Attacking wise, look to hold up to create a 2v1. Give the pass early and don't run directly into contact.- Defensively, look to force them out wide and create a turnover.

2v1 >1v2

Essence:

- To work on playing a 2v1 then how do we adapt when it changes to a 1v2.

Structure:

- 1 plays defender A in. A plays in 2 who carries and then does a drop pass to 1.

- 1 moves into a guarding positions whilst 1 and 2 play a 2v1 with A

- When A intercepts the ball the second defender becomes active. This means one of the attackers stays active and we play a 2v1. With that attacker putting pressure whilst they try to score in the cone goal.

- If the defender doesn't intercept we play a 2v1 into the goal.

Technical Points:

- Make sure that the guard position holds the defender up until we can get the second player involved. Look to create a 2v1.

Press attack

Essence:

- Work on the press through 2v1's to create a turnover and goal scoring opportunity.

Structure:

- A or B plays in defender 1, who will try and dribble the ball over the 25.

- A & B press and try to win the ball and attack the circle.

- 2 in the middle can join to create a 2v2, 3v2 or a 3v3 depending on the quality.

Technical Points:

- Work on pressing aggressively and putting the pressure on to create a turnover.

Making connections in the circle

Essence:

- To work on scoring from baseline entries whilst learning different movements to create space for the deflection.

Structure:

- 1 passes to 2 and receives it back.

- 1 carries on their run whilst at the same time, 2 makes an arching run to get into a deflecting position.

- Start of with flat passes across the circle, then progress to lifted balls.

Technical Points:

- Make sure that 1 gets his feet around the ball so its easier to cross it.

- For 2, make sure that they are in a low body position with the stick on the floor ready to deflect and react incase something else happens.
