- 3 defenders with vests - 4 attackers.
- 4 markers on the ground - see drawing - approximate position attackers.
- The attackers try, through good interplay with the corner players, to get the ball on the ground in the 6 meters. Not throwing but laying down - 1 point.
- The defenders try to touch an attacker who has the ball - 1 point.
- Above all play each other freely, no passing moves and the like.
- All players at the 6 meter with 1 ball each.
- All shoot until everyone has been:
- At the goalie.
- High. Changing corners.
- Low. Corners change.
- Half. The goalkeeper moves forward and back again.
Remember the goalie arc.
- Large thick mat.
- 1 player lies on the mat and tries to intercept balls directly or indirectly.
- Always kneeling or lying position.
- 2 duos are facing each other, in between is parallel a line marked with 2 poles.
- There stands a 5th player who tries to intercept the balls, which are passed with bounce.
Good exercise for goalkeepers.
We play this to practice the previous exercises at high speed and in competition form.
- 3-vs-3 without circle. Point of attention in attack: lots of movement, don't hang on your spot. Point of attention in coverage: who steps out when.
- 3-vs-4 with circle. Cover is undermanned and tries to break the attack by taking the speed out of it.
- 4-vs-4. The coverage is now complete with a circle in their back. Again, focus on who has the circle at what time and when they should step out.
- 5-vs-5. Same as before only now first LH and then RH are involved.
- 2 Teams
- Players place themselves on call on both sides at the 5 defensive positions: LH-LO-MO-RO-RH
- Then run to attack position
- Then a minimum of 3 throws (e.g. MO-RO-RH-RO)
- Then shot at pawn
- Return to defense
- Players out, players in
- Back to offense
- Again at least 3 throws
- Shot on target, etc.
- Who is the first to knock over 3 pawns wins
- LO a line with ball
- RO a row
- In every deep corner 1 defender
- As soon as the builders start to run, the two defenders move to the middle as quickly as possible
- The team builders who are competing with the defenders are going to pressure well next to the man
- The defenders pay attention to a good defence, stepping out on the player with the ball and immediately back to the 6 when the ball is to the other player
- After rounding on the goal, the attackers become defenders. Do not go and get the ball!
- Defenders go into the deep corner again and two new attackers start
- Row of LO with the ball
- Two in the middle (every now and then new players in the middle)
- LO puts pressure and passes the ball to the MO who is starting
- LO runs backwards again with a good arc and keeps an eye on the game
- The MO puts pressure and passes the ball to the incoming LO who shoots at the goal
- The LO has to time the ball well. Do not start too quickly or too late.
- Everyone is allowed to round off a few times on the LO
Extension
- Trainer stands on the 6 on the middle on 3
- 1 defender at 2
- We do the same as before, but now the LO goes 1 on 1 with the defender
- At the moment that the MO puts pressure, the trainer says YES and the defender has to move aside quickly to tap the trainer.
- Then the LO starts to duel with the defender.
- When you have shot at the goal, you immediately stand up to defend, so do not go and get your ball!
- The previous defender joins behind the line LO and gets a ball from the goalie
- The two MO's have to be exchanged every time
4 players: 1 goalkeeper, 1 defender, 2 attackers
- 1 attacker tries to get to the goal line
- if the defender blocks well, pass back to player 2 (who stays behind a bit)
- Let the players change positions after every attack.
- Then a variation with 2 defenders
- Focus on free lines
- On both sides there are 2 defenders on the build-up position.
- 2 players in the middle and the rest spread out over the left and right positions.
- Builders have the ball and play it to the middle, get it back and pass the defender. (The ball may also be played back to the middle).
- Passing with 0 pass, or other feint.
- Centre plays both builders and then switches.
- The players can finish freely.
- 2 pairs.
- One (defensive) player on the dotted line.
- Other (attacking) player in front of them.
- The offensive player tries to pass the defensive player between the pawns (without ball).
- One (defensive) player on the dotted line.
- Other (offensive) player in front.
- The attacking player tries to pass the defending player between the pawns (with ball).
- Possible shot on goal.
- Attackers:
- Quick movement.
- Continue shot attempt even though someone is hanging on to you.
- Defenders:
- Keep attacking player in front of you.
- Grasping at upper arms.
