Description
Players have a ball each and work in two small groups. Each group begins in a crowded areas (30 MPH speed limit) and dribble around slowly.
When the coach raises their hand players move from one crowded area to the other one.
Purpose :
To avoid bumping into other players
Coaching points
When dribbling in the crowded area there's a lot of traffic so players drive slowly and dribble at 30MPH.
When moving between crowded zones the athlete can run at pace - hence the 50mph speed limit.
30 MPH :
Posture
• Knees bent 90 degress
• Ball a stick length in front of the feet
• Arms almost straight
• Back straight “hollow the back”
Scanning
• Tell the players to “see the ball through the bottom of the eyes and the action through the top”
50 MPH:
Posture:
• Ball a stick length in front of the feet
• Hands 15cm apart (higher than when pushing) this allows a full stride
• Carry the ball directly in front using the base of the stick
• Arms almost straight
• Back straight “hollow the back”
Scanning
• Tell the players to "see the ball through the bottom of the eyes and the action through the top"
