- Player 4 makes a run through after a pass through.
- Players play 4-0 around the post.
- Player 1 takes the catch immediately after a pass.
- The next player to pass the ball takes the pass, but is "defended in front" and cannot avoid it.
- The player goes behind the post, the "defender" stays in front of the post, the player behind the post pulls away, gets the ball and shoots.
- Ball is caught, played out and the exercise is done again.
- This can be done with or without defenders.
- With defenders, the defenders must over-defend and stay in front of the post when the player moves backwards.
- Without defenders, make sure that attackers keep making the correct movements and do not immediately move backwards to move away, but only when they have been "pre-defended
- Work in pairs. (unless there is no other way)
- Shot from 4 meter from stand.
- Shot from movement right 4/5 meter.
- Shot from movement left 4/5 meter.
- Short chance left at 3 meter.
- Short chance right at 3 meter.
- Penalty throw.
- Walk-through ball.
- Shot at 6 meter.
- Working with 2 teams you let every player shoot for 2 minutes, after that you switch functions.
- You are 4 minutes per round.
- Note the scores on a list, so you can see if there is improvement later in the season.
- Working with 3 teams, you work 1 minute per shot.
Objective:
Set up attacks in overtime situations
Rules:
- Make sure the offense always has 1 more person than the defense (3-2, 4-3, 4-2 etc.)
- Gives the offense a task:
- E.g. score within 5 passes, score after setting up an action, score from the rebound.
- Gives the defense a task:
- E.g. intercept the ball within 5 passes, defend in front.
- Decide if you can go for a defensive goal.
- Indicate with cones where the lines are.
- Agree when offense switches with defense:
- After X minutes, after X goals, after X interceptions.
- 4 against 4 on 1 pole.
- The attacking team consults before each attack.
- They have to agree on a plan for the next attack.
- Who fills what position, what tactics (e.g. attacking in 3-1 or continuing to 2-2), do we move the ball to the back or do we attack in front with 2 people etc.
- Encourage them to have a basic plan.
- Let them think of alternatives if something doesn't work out.
- It is not the intention that they do not go for the ball after a goal attempt
- The goal is to score, so they should also try to get the ball when a goal attempt goes wrong
- Variation
- Give the defence an order and see if the attack picks it up and adapts.
3 or 4 at a pole.
- Play around with each other. Someone takes the catch after a pass, this is player 1.
- Player 2 is the one who just received the ball and is going to pass the deep line.
- Player 3 moves towards player 2, is "front defended" and runs a deep line.
- Player 2 passes a tight ball with a small arc to Player 3.
- Player 3 takes a shot.
- Player 1 catches, passes out to any team-mate and rejoins.
Expansion
- Instead of shooting, player 3 makes a shooting move.
- Player 1 steps out from the rebound.
- Player 3 passes to Player 1 and takes a walkthrough.
- From the 4-0, after placing the ball, the catch is taken.
- Then 1 of the others comes over the catch into the support, but runs right on about 90 degrees from the one who has the ball in his hands.
- These ladies double and one of the two goes in for the breakthrough.
- At the takeover, the ball is passed to the lady who steps out of the catch.
- Pass the ball high.
- After that practice in the 4:4
- Play 4:4 and defend 1 on 1, trying to see as many fellow players as possible.
- When there is a shot you join the steal.
- In the game you take care of the catch and try to double through the outlet support.
- Run into the free space for a through ball.
- 4 players play around the post.
- One player takes the rebound.
- The other three keep a triangle around the post and keep playing around with the three of them.
- The rebound player moves to the side where the ball is, gets the ball and shoots.
- Variant
- The rebound player steps out to the near post, receives the ball and passes to the far post.
- Both can also be combined, with the rebound player opting to pull away and pass on the ball.
- Other players must recognise their choice and make the right decision
Objective:
- Earn a point by catching the ball over the line.
Rules:
- A party starts from behind the line with the ball.
- Intercepted ball is ball first to your own line and then to the other side for a point.
- Balls out count.
- When a point is gained, the opponent gets the ball from there.
Points of attention:
- For defending.
- Play on the side by moving on one leg.
- Play at tempo.
- Watch each other and your opponents place.
- Divide the team into equal groups of 3 at most
- As many poles as groups
- Everyone can defend everyone
- Can score on any pole
- Divide the team in groups of 2, max 3
- Each group starts on its own pole
- Per pole you score X number of goals
- Finished? Then move on to another pole (may be random, may be in order)
- Finally score X number of goals on your own pole.
- Who is the first to score on all the poles wins.
