The emu is the unofficial national bird of Australia because it can't step backwards, so is seen as a symbol of progression. This week we want your players to be like the emu and positively drive forward to make the interception.
To get your players intercepting from all sides this sharp movement session gets your players weaving and changing direction at speed to get in front and force the turnover.
What's in the Session?
Get your players using quick footwork and moving forward (like the emu) with confidence, weaving in front of their player to snatch the ball in defence!

Tight markers win when attackers run in straight lines. Teach your players to dodge, change pace and time their drive so they get free when the ball is ready.
When everyone chases the ball, nobody is free. Teach your team to spread out, offer two options and clear space so the ball moves cleanly down court.
A shooter who can hold a strong position under the post is worth more than one who runs all over the circle. Here is how to coach body shape, a legal hold and a well-timed release, and how feeders make the most of it.
