Change of pace (1v1)

I have thoroughly enjoyed using your site to help me with my coaching...
Donna, Coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Use a line or cones to define where the defender can work.
  • The attacking player is looking to get past the defending player without being tagged and only using a change of pace!
  • On the attacking players's die of the line, they can move towards and back to encourage the defender to make a decision about where to move.
  • This will "create" a space/gap for  the attacker who will then change pace/movement type to try to avoid the defender without adding in a further change of direction!

 

Try these combinations:

  • walk to sprint
  • skip to sprint
  • sidestep to sprint
  • jog to sprint

You could use a bib in back of shorts.

Progression: 

  • Add in a feeder at the far end to send in a pass once the defender has been beaten. Defender should still go for the tag on attacker
  • Progress further with the defender going for the ball rather than the player (but must first look to delay movement of player)

COACHING POINTS

The attacker has to do enough in the first place to interest the defender and create a space

The advantage lies with the attacker in that only she know when she will 'attack'

Head up, feet under body, hips aligned forward, confidence and commitment!
