2v1 - Support to keep out 547 ...

After being passed the ball by the feeder/coach the attackers (blue 2 and blue 3) try to pass their way past the defenders. The two attackers (blue 2 and 3) can only attack against one defender, but the defenders can defend against either attacker (so they can support and back each other up to keep the attackers out).

General

One on two - Defensive overloa...

The feeder in the center of the court plays the ball left and then right into the paths of the running attackers. The first wide defender goes to meet the ball straight away with the second, central, defender coming to cover and support the other defender after the attacker has crossed the 9m line. The drill ends when the ball is taken by the defender or after the attacker's shot on goal.

General

One vs One - Defensive rotatio...

The attacking players take it in turns to run at their defenders, either on the left or the right, with the ball in hand. When they reach the defender they must try and take on their man, if they get past they may have a shot on goal. The defenders regularly change position, taking it in turns to try and dispossess the attacker.

General

One on One with a covering def...

The feeders on the baseline and the outside of the 9 meter line take it in turns to feed the ball to the attacking runner (Blue 2). When the ball is played the attacker run to meet the pass. As they do so the defender (red 1) also runs to meet them. The attacker is looking to make a shot on goal with the defender aiming to show them to the outside of the court, making it difficult to shoot and ultimately dispossess the player with the ball. The second defender (red 2) is the covering man, blocking the attacker's view of goal and is only there to cover the first defender, not make the tackle. After a shot or a tackle has been made the drill flips and restarts on the opposite side of the court with the other line.

Attackers try to score a goal when defended by one defender. After their shot the attacker collects their ball and joins the back of the line. If the defender wins the ball they rejoin the back of the line and the attacker who lost the ball becomes the new defender.

Try to get past - Libero suppo...

Three defending players, lined up outside your shooting circle, one feeder stood in the middle (could be the coach) and then two equal lines of attackers on both sides of the court. The attacking players take it in turns to attack. The first players passes the ball to blue 2 and then runs forward, looking for the return pass. The blue player then takes on their man in a 1v1 where the libero defender (red 2) moves over to cover and only helps if the blue player gets past the first defender.

General

2v2 - Mark the Space, not the ...

After being passed the ball by the feeder/coach the attackers (blue 2 and blue 3) try to pass their way past the defenders. In this drill the two attackers can attack anywhere, and can overlap and swap positions at will in order to try and get past the defenders. The defenders however must mark the space, not the players, and so must communicate between one another so that both players are always marked, while ensuring that they don't change places.

Blue player 1 is the feeder in this drill and throws the ball to the players attempting to penetrate the defence. Blue players 2, on both sides of the court, take it in turns to run towards the defenders and try to find a gap through which they can run and make a shot on goal. If the attacker is shut out by the two defenders they can throw a one-two pass to blue player 3 and move into space to have one more attempt at breaking through.

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
