Around and on Goal!

Blue players must dribble up the pitch and around the cone before then turning sharply. Once they have turned they must then take on the defender with a feint or a dummy before finally throwing a shot at the goal.

560 complex shooting exercises

Back and Forth 1

Player 1 starts this drill from the right wing and passes to player 2. Player 2 then passes to player 3 who passes to player 4. After they've passed the ball player 2 moves forward, in behind the defence to the right wing position and waits to receive the return pass from player 3 (who was passed to by player 4). To finish the move player 2 has a shot on goal. During this passing process the two defenders press out to put pressure on the pass and player 1 runs across the court to set a screen between the defender and the attackers.

536 concept play : going to 2:4

Back and Forth 2

Same as in Back and Forth 1 player 1 starts the drill from the right wing and passes to player 2. Player 2 then passes to player 3 who passes to player 4. After they've passed the ball player 2 moves forward, in behind the defence to the right wing position. To finish the move player 4 passes the ball back to player 3 who then feeds the ball to the white player (pivot player) who then turns and shoots at goal.

Centerball - Bench game

To set this game up you need a gymnastics bench at each side of the half court and two back to back benches (or a large gymnastics box if available) laying flat inside the middle of the area. In this middle area there should be a white player defending their side of the bench and a blue player defending their side. The white team tries to score by hitting the ball on the blue's side of the bench and the white side tries to score on the blue's side of the central bench. After every failed attempt to score the team who made the shot must touch one of the benches on either side of the area.

Chase your own pass - Extra Defenders

Set up 5 equal groups of players, one group on each sideline and 3 in the middle. Have several balls with both groups of sideline players. Also have two additional defenders (red players) stationed just inside the 9 meter line. Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4. Player 1 must chase the passes across the court to support the two red defenders as they press out to put pressure on the pass When player 4 receives the ball they should look for the shot on goal. The drill then starts from the other side - going from left to right.

Chase your own pass

Set up 5 equal groups of players, one group on each sideline and 3 in the middle. Have several balls with both groups of sideline players. Player 1 starts the drill with a pass to player 2. Player 2 runs out to meet the pass and then passes it on to player 3 who passes to player 4 who finishes with a shot on goal. Immediately after passing though player 1 must chase down their own pass, making sure they're in a position to block the shot when blue 4 is in possession. Players in the middle rejoin the back of their own lines after receiving the pass/shooting. Sideline players join the back of the line on the opposite side of the court after blocking the shot.

536 concept play : going to 2:4

Hit the benches - Defence v Attack

The blue team are the attackers and the whites are defenders, working in one third of the court. Blue players must pass the ball around to create a good chance for throwing at the benches, all while staying behind a certain line. The white players' job is to protect the benches and block the shots.
