2. Sending, receiving and travelling with the ball
3. Basic Attack and Defence 2v1 and 5v3
4. Play small 4v4 scale game with coaching
5. Always finish on the game - Play 7v7 a-side games (Ability matched)
Warm-up – Start without the ball (gentle run around the grid) – touch the floor on 1, jump up on 2, reverse on 3, (3-4 mins)- then form square and do relay diagonals with ball to feet and then ball to hand then pass in middle (3-4 mins).
Drill – Find the space (10mins)
Ball passed when PASS called
Players to be at least 2 steps (1m) when STOP called – Check if anyone can touch hands.
Coaching Points
• Ball in two hands
• Look for space
• Dodge
• Change so that it must be 2m or more apart.
Drill – Bump and Run (10mins)
Ball used to tag. 3 or 4 Static Players link arms, 1 Dodger and 1 Ball Carrier. When tagged they becomes the Carrier. Dodger's aim is to get to the 3 safe static players and bump the one off the other end.
10:30 Break 3-4mins - Fluid
Skill-development; Group-up (even number of teams- between 7-10)
Drill – Cascade, Run and pass, (10mins)
Run 2 teams from each side. Maximise activity. First player Standing, next One knee, two knees, sat down, on front, on back. When called all go.
Extra – get starting player to loop to end, then try a miss move!
Coaching Points
• Players must get into position to receive a pass as quickly as possible.
• Ball in 2 hands
• Gentle passes in front of the support player
• Support players call for the ball
• Hands ready
Start with lines close to each other, a little more than a arms width apart and then increase the distance as they get used to it.
Drill – 2v1 (5mins)
Extra – add another defender . Then another attacker for 3v2. One at a time until it becomes next drill. Get attacker to draw the defender(s).
Drill - 5v3 Attack and Defence (15mins)
Build up from above get attackers to draw the defence to create space.
Coaching Points
• Hold the ball in two hands.
• Commit defenders to make space for team mates.
• Run forwards with the ball.
• 5v3 should win every time.
• If 3 keeps scoring, 5’s defence needs adjusting
• If 3 prevent scores, 5's attack needs adjusting
• Swap players between the groups after 3 try's
11:00 Break 3-4mins
Coached Game – 4v4 (10mins)
Use above drills to highlight the drawing of the defence, getting two players to tag you means you have 3 players to pass to and they only have two defenders, who are still active.
