Goal: repeat 2V1 wide principle, from out-letting situation
Exercise
* 1 group of max 4 pp on each side
* team 1 takes ball top circle + tries to score by dribbling through goal over midline
* one defender team 2 in turf, other at circle line cone. If defender gets ball, he tries to play to his team mate who comes of his cone to ask for the ball. If they are succesful they change roles. Otherwise team 1 attackes.
* End game: how many times in a row can you as team score in the goal?
2V1 wide principle
Goal = to get passed opponent by tempting/luring him into get the ball
HOW:
- stay far away from each other (reason opponent can’t catch up with pass).
- ball receiver stays behind the ball for a square pass (reason: now he is out of the reach of the opponent + can run onto ball)
- player with ball commits opponent. No opponent then accelerate and get passed him themselves.
- If opponent commits= pass to team mate
- if ball receiver receives ball his feet are already towards goal to accelerate forward
