This exercise sounds simple but it certainly is not:
  • The idea is for the player with the ball to get past a 100% giving defender in 3 dribbles.
  • The scoring player stays put, misses then goes out and the defender may attack against a new person.
  • The goal is for the player to give everything during this exercise.
  • Here the attacker is forced to be explosive and use his whole body.

  • Prior to the exercise, we first stretch and run a suicide.
  • The ball is in the middle.
  • Two persons run backwards on the starting signal to the back line, then first to get hold of the ball on the middle line.
  • A 1-on-1 situation then arises here in which the person with the ball attacks and the other must defend.
