drawing Triangle shape
  • We play 2 against 1 (in each mini goal a defender - 3 mini goals) .
  • On 2 mini goals stands a defender (yellow jacket) .
  • Orange jacket plays into the 2 attackers and defends the third goal.
  • Defenders can move freely and defend another mini goal if necessary.
  • Attackers may only score inside the defined zone (yellow).
  • So this is an exercise of how to move without the ball (both A and V) , sliding through A becomes V .
  • Orange jacket stays in same position for a few minutes (intensive).
  • Coaching on free running, moving without the ball.
  • Make actions ok!
  • Passing even better!
drawing Duel shape and move without the ball
  • Finish during the opening turn and/or after the handball 15 - 20 minutes.
  • Variant 1 with opening twist.
    • Player 1 passes to player 2.
    • Player 1 walks to the pawn of player 2.
    • Player 2 turns open and passes to player 3.
    • Player 2 walks to the pawn of player 3.
    • Player 3 turns open and shoots directly at goal.
    • Player 3 retrieves the ball and passes to player 4.
  • Variant 2 with handball.
    • Player 4 plays into player 5.
    • Player 4 runs to the pawn of player 5.
    • Player 5 turns open and plays into player 6.
    • Player 5 runs to and shows where he wants the ball.
    • Player 6 looks where player 5 wants the ball and bounces it there.
    • Player 5 rebounds the ball on the 11 meter and then quickly runs back to the pawn near player 6.
    • Player 6 starts running when the ball is played and shoots the ball on goal.
    • Retrieve the ball quickly and join player 1 at the back.
  • With 9 - 10 players this exercise is so good.
  • If you have 12 or more players, use the following variation.
  • These three points are then a replacement of point 1.
    • Player 7 passes the ball to player 1(or 6).
    • Player 1(0f 6) rebounds the ball diagonally and walks to the pawn of player 2(or 5).
