2.02 INDIVIDUAL DEFENCE

(g) MAKING PASSING DIFFICULT

Exercises in hindering the opponent’s pass

One ball per group of three (of more or less the same height). There are two attackers and one hindering defender.

A. The two attackers stand eight metres apart and pass continuously using a normal one-hand pass from the shoulder. The defender stands close to one of them and tries to block the ball (legally). The attacker does not try to avoid the block but cooperates with the defender. Change functions regularly.

B. As B, but now the attacker passes with the other hand requiring the defender to block with the other hand as well.

C. As A and B, but with different opponents.

Blocking the pass is just like blocking shots – largely a question of feeling. It is therefore important that the exercise is performed with various opponents. With different attackers, a different challenge is presented to the defender.

D. As A, but now the attackers do their best to pass the ball to their team-mate. If it goes well, the defender will touch very few balls, so that his/her role has become one of hindering rather than blocking.

E. A2 moves continuously from side to side. At points 1 and 2, A2 gets the ball from Al and passes it back. D tries to hinder the return pass. How often can D touch the ball in 30 seconds? A2 cooperates and does not try 100 per cent to avoid the blocking arm.

F. As E, butA2 now runs in a V-shape, making a veering-off movement before receiving each pass.

G. As F, but A2 now uses a straight-arm pass to return the ball.

H. The most difficult for the defender. A2 may choose how to pass the ball to Al. Otherwise as F.
