Description
*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***
Objective: To get the attacking player to receive and roll strong, away from the tackling defender.
Purpose: Rolling/peeling away from the defender is a relatively low risk strategy to consolidate possession and eliminate.
Structure: Pairs or Groups of 3 (potential to add in passive/active defender)
Coaching points
- Start with a side on stance to be able to see the passer, the defender and the space in behind.
- The ball is passed into the attacker on their forehand side where the defender/dummy will apply pressure.
- The attacker will receive strong and use their body to feel the defender and attempt to sell the defender, transferring their weight onto their right foot.
- When the defender makes an attempt to tackle, the attacker takes the ball from their right foot, being careful not to expose it too much for a shave tackle.
- The attack then gets the ball into the hook of the stick and spins tight, accelerating away from the tackle.
