Post Touch Attacking Lines

Описание: A skill zone to introduce how to be more specific with spaces you are attacking after the touch, or against a defender holding space.

Setting up the drill
Start 1v1
7m by 7m grid
2x colour cones half way, about 3m apart
Defending player touches the ball to start the game
Attacker calls (early) a colour, both players race to that colour 1st
Then the attacker can either kick on, or step, or double step

Progressions:
Add in a half to pop the ball off the floor
Remove the mid-way cones
Add in a player to initiate the touch and perform a roll ball
Allow the half to wrap (now context for who scores where)

This is your fundamental attacking space after the touch.
Take a player 1 way at speed for 2-3 steps
Then make a decision
The speed of the roll ball and the speed of the half work significantly impact the chances of scoring


Attack:
Watch the defender
Look for body shape, route their are running, position
Tell a story - send fake cues for where you are going
Have to attack at speed
With a wrap - it's about scoring / trying to score in a specific space to create space for the half

Defence
Stay balanced
Don't twist your hips
Speed to get onside is critical
Don't look at the line
With a half wrapping - 1st priority is the ball carrier. 2nd priority is the pass
If you can - get off the line
