Objective: Contact, evasion and space
equipment: 1 ball, hit shields
group size: 10.
Area: 15m x 10m.
Drill set-up: Players are partnered up numbered 1 to 5, 2 lines facing each other, with one ball at an end and a hit shield at the other end.
Drill explanation:
-
Players face each other 10-15m apart with a ball down one end of the lines and a hit shield at the other.
-
On the call of “a number” one side are the attackers and the others defenders.
-
When a number is called, attacker runs, picks up ball and tries to score at opposite end. Defender runs to other end, grabs a hit shield and moves forward to defend.
-
The objective is to score
-
This is repeated with a different number and two players’ repeat activity.
Variations / progression:
-
Two different numbers are called which gives the game 2 attackers vs 2 defenders.
-
An extra hit shield is added.
