Coerver Explosive 1v1
Activity Description
The Game: The red player dribbles straight across, as he/she nears the disc (2 to 3 yards away) he steps on the ball and must sprint around the disc before he can defend. The white player runs onto the ball immediately after the red player stops it. The white line should be about 5 yards away from where the red will stop the ball.
Attackers must enter the shooting zone to score. They can attack either goal. Switch lines after each attack.
Focus:
- The white attacker should “run with the ball” (attack at speed)
- The red defender must recover at speed.
- Finishing at Speed
If the defender does recover, can the attacker use the defenders momentum to his advantage by cutting across his body and attack the other goal?
Shooting with Precision
Activity Description
The Set-up: same as initial exercise, but now two balls are placed on discs a yard in front of each pugg goal.
The Game: Same as initial exercise, but now the attacker must shoot his or her ball at the ball placed on the disc knocking it into the goal. This will force a more precise shot from the attacker. Coach can either call Go! to start the activity or ask the next player in line with the ball at their feet to start his/her dribble once a shot has been taken.
First Time Entry
Activity Description
The Game: The red player dribbles straight across, as he/she nears the disc (2 to 3 yards away) he steps on the ball and must sprint around the disc before he can defend. The white player runs onto the ball and passes the ball to the coach first time “one touch”. White should carry on forward to support the pass. Coach will slip the ball back into the path of the white player and a 1v1 ensues.
Attackers must enter the shooting zone to score. They can attack either goal. Switch lines after each attack.
Focus:
- Pace of the pass
- Proper Movement of the supporting run (show away from the recovering defender!).
- Speed of Attack (pass, dribble, finish)
- Decision Making
- Fitness
Note: More 1v1 battles will ensue now that the pass has been added into the activity.
