DESCRIPTION

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

Objective: To understand the requirments of the player when dribbling with the ball down the right hand side of the field.

Purpose: The ball position and technique when you are dribbling the ball down the right side will alter where the next pass or tackle is going to come from and gives a clear message to the rest of the team, eg. wingers/forwards leads.

Structure: Pairs

COACHING POINTS

When carrying on the right hand side of the pitch, most passes will be infield to the left.
Carry the ball at 1 o'clock so the player can pass in field with pace. (too far to the left will reduce control and speed of pass - too far right will make it difficult to pass left)
When carrying the ball, it's important to have the ball out infront so not to close off the rest of the field with the angle of your body. Run with the shoulder parrallel to the baseline.
Carry with a low center of gravity to be able to scan for a pass whilst on the run.

Can hit or push the ball
Can give an aerial ball into the space.

The player looking to receive the ball then runs into the circle and shoots.

5 Players, 2 balls. The player in the middle has to pass the ball from a player behind to player in front, first on the right and then on the left.

First exercise standing still, then whilst moving up the pitch. IMPORTANT that the outside players stay in square and keep the 5th player in the middle.
