Community | On and Off Circle Edge

DESCRIPTION

Split the attacking third into half so you can have 2 groups working side by side. Feeder and attacker with three cones in each area. Part 1 Attacker hits 2 cones, with feeder sending pass ahead of attacker onto the 2nd cone The ball can be received both on edge and away from the edge Working continuously and at a good pace/effort Part 2 Working as one unit with 2 feeders and the attackers working together, one offering on circle edge and the other off The ball can be passed from the feeder to either player and returned to either feeder. The ball can also be sent to the other attacker if they are driving to circle edge. Part 3 Add in GS and GA who work to offer front and back as ball lands on the circle edge (staggered) 3 balls to land on circle edge before fed in for a shot Part 4 Add in defenders initially marking space (potentially overload in attack) build defensive intensity Other Variations / Conditions X number of times to circle edge before there's a shot There must be a swing pass before the ball can enter the circle The ball has to go out of the circle and back in before there's a shot
