Topic 4 Disadvantage Drill

Description:

This drill requires great communication and attention as players sprint into defensive position.

Tips:

Emphasis is on communication and attention

Instructions

• 5 defenders should line up on the foul line (1-5), and 5 offenders up on the baseline (x1-x5)
• You should call out the name of one defensive player and pass the ball to the offensive team.
• The defender who was called (player 3 in the diagram below), runs to touch the baseline, then sprints back on defence. The other 4 defensive players sprint back on defence immediately.
• At the same time, offenders (x1 to x5) attempt a fast break to the opposite end and try to score while they have a 5 on 4 advantage
• The defenders should communicate and decide how they will defend the 5 Vs 4 attack until the 5th player joins them
• The offenders should try and score while they keep an advantage
