2.02 INDIVIDUAL DEFENCE

(c) DEFENDING GIVEN MOVEMENTS

Defending exercise in pairs

Make pairs of attackers and defenders. One ball and three or four pairs per korf. One of the pairs stands under the korf and has the ball. The other pairs stand roughly 15 metres in front of the korf.

A. The attacker’s job is to score a running-in shot. The defenders know this and try to prevent a goal being scored. The attacker stands 10-15 metres from the post with the defender close by at a distance of 1-2 metres. The rotation is as follows: once the first pair has had a turn, they provide the assist for the attacker of the second pair, etc. After assisting, the pair moves to the back of the shooting queue. In each pair, the players take it in turns to attack.

B. As A, but the attackers must try to shoot after a veering-off shot.

In both A and B, the objective is that the defender concentrates on the one action that is known in advance, and goes flat out to defend. If this is done properly, the attacker has little chance to shoot.

C. Now the attackers can choose between a running-in shot and a veering-off shot. But they only get one chance. If they go for the running-in shot but do not break free, their turn is over. The task is slightly more difficult for the defender but still many attackers will not be able to shoot.

D. The attackers now get a third choice. After the veering-off movement, they may try for a running-in shot. Now the task is much more difficult for the defender and it becomes important to discern which movement the attacker is looking to execute.

E. A little game: the attacker and the defender can score points. The former gets a point after scoring and the latter for preventing a goal. Otherwise as D.

F. As E, but the attacker can receive the ball a maximum of three times.
