Suitable for the following techniques:
defense
, general
Responsiveness
The purpose of the exercise is to train the defender A in his reaction ability as well as to work together in handling the ball.
Important for this exercise:
EVERYTHING is touche!
The ball that is played/tossed by the trainer (high and far; not hit!) is allowed to come well outside the lines, because the ball must be handled as if it jumped off the block.
A. stands with his back to the net and concentrates on the defenders B/C.
If the ball is played by T/Sv. then either B or C demands the ball ("LOS!") and moves to play the ball.
A. sprints after B/C and offers himself vocally ("HERE!").
B/C must be able to hear where A is before playing the ball.
B/C plays the ball high to A and A plays the ball well inside the 3-metre box. T./Sv. makes the catch.
If there are 8 or more players, this exercise can be done at both ends; if there are less than 8 players, it is played at one end and B/C rotate with players waiting outside the lines.
In that case, work at a high tempo so that nobody stands still for too long.
A. changes after 5 or 10 balls; every player takes the position A. twice.
NOTE: The exercise goes at a high tempo!
When A. has handled the ball, the next ball follows immediately.
It is up to the player turning in the ball to get in position in time!
Expansion:
Place a basket on a spot of your choice within the 3-meter section.
The second ball must touch the basket (top) or go through the basket.
