DESCRIPTION

*AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON*

Set up: At least 6 players form equal lines in a triangle formation. One defender in the middle. One ball.

Progression for MAD
Players are to pass the ball to either of the other 2 lines then move to the opposite.
Defender must apply pressure and attempt intercepts.
The aim is to keep all 3 line balanced so there is always someone to pass to and no one is ever left in a line by themselves.

COACHING POINTS

Players are to understand the importance of balancing court and to be a reactive player after they have passed.

PROGRESSION

Keep time of how long it takes each defender to force an error. Either intercept or no one in one of the lines.
Once defender has forced an error swap another defender in.
Make it a competition- fastest to force an error wins.
