RUNNING WITH THE BALL (TO SCORE)
|
Diagram 1
|
In the practice in diagram (1), a number of players A, B and
C start behind the half way line each with a ball. They manoeuvre
round the half circle keeping their ball under control until
they get a call from (S), who will call out "A",
"B" or "C".
In the diagram (A) is signalled out so he passes his ball
quickly to (S) then runs on to collect the return pass, and
runs as quickly as he can up to the penalty area, once inside
he shoots to try and score past goalkeeper (G).
To encourage speed, the coach can put a time limit on A, starting
from the first pass to (S) - say 15 seconds - and in that
time he must collect the return pass, advance, and get in
the shot at goal.
Diagram 2
To progress, and to put more pressure on the players running
with the ball, defenders are brought into the practice i.e.
D, E and F.
They are placed 15 metres away on the half way line - no nearer
to begin with. The distance can be altered according to the
ability of the players - although the attacking players must
be given enough opportunity.
Practice
As in the previous practice (A) serves to (S), and once (A)
has made that first pass, defender (D) can set off, and it
is up to him to try and prevent (A) from getting in a shot
at goal.
(D) will have to try and cut off (A's) run for goal
It is up to (A) to pass, move, and get the return pass with
some urgency.
DEFENDERS CAN BE BROUGHT IN FROM
EITHER SIDE OF THE ATTACKERS, OR EVEN FROM BEHIND THE ATTACKERS
AT POSITION (F) IN DIAGRAM 2.
