The Block
Organisation
- Start with players in positions 1 and 2 and progress to 3 and 4.
- The Coach
rolls the ball forward left or right for players to run onto.
- The Keeper has
to make a decision
Key Points
- Can I win the ball. When diving at feet go only if you are 100% sure you can
win it and move quickly without hesitation.
- Should I stand Up. Keep low in the ready position, hands by your knees, make
yourself big. Put pressure on the Attacker, stay on your feet and don't commit
yourself. Don't go early.
Block the Ball if the Attacker is favourite to win it. Attack it if you are.
You
are looking for a good decision backed by positive action.
