Pass from A to B, from B to C, from C to E - either B-C or E throws at the goal.
When one of the backcourt players shoots that is the signal for defender D1 and D2 to go for the fast break.
Backcourt players who did not throw at the goal, turn around and sprints back to intercept the long pass.
Goalkeeper throws long pass every time the same way and trains in this way B-C-E to go for the interception.
Variations:
- goalshot into the goal and goalkeeper has to pick up the ball first and throw the long pass.
First train the interception only and add then more matchlike items such as real goalshot.
To get to the right timing and train the interception of the long pass every time:
- have B throw into the hands of the goalkeeper
- have another goalkeeper/player/trainer to throw the long pass
- have another goalkeeper next to the goal to hand the goalkeeper another ball
A goes into the position of D and D returns after his fast break.
