Checking Runs - Combination Pressure Training |
|
|
OBJECTIVE: |
This activity requires a player to make many checking runs to break
away from pressure and receive passes from team-mates. |
|
DESCRIPTION: |
Using cones, set up a 20x20 yard grid. Place four offensive players at
each corner, and give a ball to one of these players. Have two more
players start in the grid, designating one to be on offense and one on
defense. Play begins when the central attacker makes a checking run away
from the defender and toward the player with the ball. The player with the
ball should pass directly to the feet of the posting player, who attempts
to score a point by passing the ball on the first touch to any of the
other players outside the square. The defender works to intercept the
ball, but returns the ball to an outside player whenever he gains
possession of it. Continue play for two minutes, then rotate positions.
The player who scores the most points wins. |
|
VARIANT: |
Require the ball to always be in motion, and allow the players outside
the square to pass to each other provided the ball is played to the
central attacker at least once every four
passes. |
