A one-two in depth with quick passes and finishing at high pace:

  • Player A plays towards player B.
  • A runs deep towards the first pawn -running line-.
  • B passes back to A and runs deep towards the circle -short quick action-.
  • A passes back to B.
  • B takes on the forehand and spins away over the opponent's backhand -pawn-.
  • C sprints in towards head of circle -timing-.
  • B passes towards C possibly with the backhand sweep pass.

drawing One-two punch in high tempo
  • At trainer's signal, both players start sprinting.
  • Blue must run around first pawn and Red runs straight through to tap Blue.
  • Red becomes Blue and flips over.
We are going to overpass between 2 pillons.
  • Push.
  • Flats.
  • Stroke -if it goes well-.
Points of attention:
  • Hands apart when stopping.
  • If stopping goes well then stop high.
  • Push first then increase distance for Flats.
drawing Passes practice
  • The ball starts at the player to 1.
  • The player at 1 chooses one of the three gates and wants to run through it.
  • The defender at 2 may close a gate by standing in it.
  • As a result, player 1 must make choices to go into an open gate.
  • When player 1 walks through a gate, he does the same at the second row of cones, does the defender take the ball away? Then he gets to finish the course by himself.
  • When you have passed through the two rows of gates, you may finish on goal.
drawing Walking in open space
  • A starts with the ball and passes the ball to B.
  • B passes the ball back to A.
  • A takes the ball open and plays the ball to C.
  • B runs through and gets the ball wide from C.
  • From then on it is a 3 against 2: B, C, D against the 2 defenders.
    • When the defenders intercept the ball they score at the goalmouth on the side

    1. Drive the ball toward the pawn.
    2. Get them to shoot the ball at the goal with flats. Do this without stopping the ball. 
      If this is still too difficult, have them stop the ball first.
  3. Loafing:
    1. Put 1 player in the middle and 3 players at the pawns.
    2. They are going to pass to each other.
    3. The player with the ball must always have 2 passing options.
    4. So other players should run to the other pawn so that those play-off opportunities are there.
      Start with that the loafer can only intercept the ball if a pass is given, then 
      you can also have the loafer take the ball away if a player gives the ball.
