New Long Corner Position

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

DESCRIPTION

New Long coner 25y

Overload opportunity

 

COACHING POINTS

  • Back 4 structure
  • HB very aggressive on the ball side - in fact both HBs aggressive
  • Wide fullbacks – still allowing an angel for HB pass
  • B4 shape naturally creates angels and options to play direct into circle at any point in the transfer
  • Players in screen should position for in-to-out pass to stop teams slitting on the transfer
  • Don't over crowd the circle. 2 or 3 attacking players is sufficient and will leave huge spaces to exploit
  • Circle edge play – top to back / back to top
  • T-spot movement to receive the ball or drag defending players away
  • Post-up option for deflection or trap and roll

The idea is to have multiple options / ways of entering the circle. Being discipline and maintaining your back 4 structure will stop teams killing the space. You will require depth as well as width to fully test the defending team. Multiple transfers maybe required before you successfully created an overload opportunity.
