The Game

  • Player 'C' starts on the endline and dribbles into zone 1, trying to get past defender 'A'

  • If 'A' steals the ball, 'A' tries to dribble past 'C', and over the end line.

  • If 'C' manages to get by 'A', 'C' continues through zone 2 and tries to beat 'B' over the end line.

  • If 'B' steals it, he takes on player 'A' who has been waiting in zone 1.


Coaching Points

Individual attack and defense.

Attackers:

  • Try to unbalance defender.

  • Attack at pace, try to keep facing the defender.

  • Change pace and direction.


Defenders:

  • Try to channel attacker towards sideline, use sideline as another defender.


Variations

  1. Allow defender 'A' to chase 'C' into zone 2 if beaten. 'C' must then hold 'A' off while at the same time moving towards taking on 'B'. This also makes 'C' not give up once beat, teaching them to recover 'goalside'.
