players should concentrate and fulfill their tasks in such a way that the goalkeeper receives a quick series of two shots, but is able to get in a proper position to save them.
Also do the course on the other side after a few rounds.
A4.3 Preparatory exercise 3: Piston movements and counter movements with a pass to the pivot and a shot at the goal
Setting:
- Two players play defense.
(Figure 1)
Course:
-
initially passes the ball to
(A), into his broad piston movement path (B).
-
feints a stem shot and then dynamically moves to the center (C) (if necessary, he may dribble the ball with the hand that is further away from the defense line, with the left hand in the example).
- At the same time,
places a screen on the inner side, next to
(D), to obstruct the way for
to the center.
-
eventually shoots at the goal from the back position (E).
(Figure 2)
- After the shot,
, into his broad piston movement path (G).
-
feints a stem shot and then dynamically moves to the center (H) (if necessary, he may dribble the ball with the hand that is further away from the defense line).
- With the stem shot,
moves and places a screen on the inner side, next to
(J).
- After moving to the center,
passes the ball to the pivot (K);
catches the ball and shoots from the pivot position (L).
- Afterwards, the players start the next round, with
playing on the pivot position.
The pivot should keep screening for as long as possible and leave the screening position (in order to catch the ball) as late as possible. Make sure the pivot maintains a proper screening posture.
Also do the course on the other side after a few rounds.
A4.4 Implementation: Interaction 3-on-3
Setting:
- Define the playing field with two poles.
-
,
, and
as the pivot initially play 3-on-3 against
, and
.
(Figure 1)
Course:
- The receivers (
) initially pass the ball (A).
-
does a broad piston movement and receives the ball from
into his running path (B).
positions himself next to
, placing a screen.
-
may then try to break through (C) or pass the ball to
on the pivot position (D), if the latter was able to gain positional advantage over
.
- If neither option is possible,
moves to the inner side (E), and
places a screen on the inner side, next to
(F).
(Figure 2)
- If
may shoot after having moved to the center (G), or pass the ball to
(K).
- The back position players may also pass the ball to the feeders/receivers in order to start the course over.
