Zone Defence - Saturate the Centre Third

Saturate the centre third from dead ball situations, looking for the interception from the word go, and don't give your opposition a single easy pass!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Intercept - Strike like a ninja:

Two players are passing the ball between them in a consistent rhythm.

The defender stands behind one of the attackers and has to try and time their move to get in front and intercept the ball. Following the successful interception the defender passes the ball to the opposite player and then runs to the other side, ready to intercept again!

Interception

Position Learning:

Players jog, hop or skip around the outside of the court.

When the coach (player X) calls a position all players have to run to that area of the court.

Warm ups

Power jumps:

Players work in pairs, with one ball between them.

Facing each other the player without the ball drives forward, taking 5 steps forwards and then 5 steps back before then receiving a high pass from their partner.

Repeat 10 times before swapping roles.

Interception

Meeting the ball:

Facing each other one player:

Drives forward 5 steps,
Back 5 steps and jump to catch the ball
Drives out to the side at 45 degree angle receiving the ball in the air (left and right)

5 times each side – swap worker.
