Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

The C will set up ball side on the top of the circle

The GS will pass the ball to the WA
The GA will then move onto the ball as the WA passes into the circle
The GA can put up the shot

COACHING POINTS

OFTEN USED WITH...

Backline Stack:

WD and GD will start in a stacked position, one behind the other with the WD in front
The C will start just inside the centre third to allow the WD and GD space
Both players will split and go in opposite directions to make an offer for the ball
The WD is likely to receive the ball
The GD will then change direction and drive down court to offer for the next ball from the WD
The C will receive the ball from the GD - they must ensure they time their movement correctly

Set Plays

Circle Edge Set-Up:

WD will set up ball side on the circle edge
GD will set up away from the WD to give them space and to balance the court - they should try to be ball side also
C will start back just inside the centre third, this will allow the WD and GD space
The GK will pass the ball to the WD (holding ball side)
The GD will then drive to receive the second ball from the WD
C will then make a move to receive the ball from the GD

Set Plays

GS Give and Go:

The WA will hold ball side on the edge of the circle
The C will hold ball side on the top of the circle
The GA will hold ball side in the circle - this will keep the GD away from the ball/the GS
The GS may fake the ball to the GA or C to move the GK's body weight
They will then pass to the WA and quickly get onto court, ball side and receive the ball back from the WA
The GS will put up the shot

Set Plays

WD, GD Split:

WD and GD will set up to present an offer, however they will not be receiving the ball
The WD will start ball side and pull wide, taking the GS and WA with them to leave space in the middle
The GD will pull wide the other way and take the GA away to leave space in the middle
The C will time their movement and drive hard down the middle to receive the ball from the GK
By this time the WD and GD will have driven down court to offer for the next pass
The WD will receive the ball from the C
The GD will receive the ball from the WD
