Coaching Points
This exercise is designed to test the ability of
an attacking player to
- move a defender sideways to create space while
running with the ball
- deliver an accurate pass at the end of the run
- Players may use either open stick or reverse
stick skills to change direction when dribbling through the slalom
- Attacking players should be encouraged to make
angled runs while being chased / shadowed by a defender. This
move will create the 'space' in which to beat the opponent.
- At the end of a run, with the opponent beaten,
the attacking player will need to accurately pass the ball, typically
across the face of the goal before the ball crosses the back line.
- This exercise is typically of an attack down
the right, but the exercise could be used in reverse to create
a coaching exercise for left attacking play.
