Jörg Madinger - Opening playing variants against various defense systems

- If cannot pass the ball to the pivot, the four attacking players may keep playing freely and try to break through 1-on-1 or interact with to score a goal.

- If receives a direct pass resulting in a goal, the respective attacking team gets two points.

- Each team may play seven attacks. Which team has scored highest in the end?

Adjust the size of the playing corridor in such a way that the attacking team has some advantage due to the large spaces.

Recommended for overcoming these defense systems: 6-0

Requirement:

Description:

In this series of exercises, the players further develop their team play in depth by switching to a 4-2 offense system with two pivots. Following this, they will use shifting movements on the back positions and switched pivot screenings.

Factors of success for the pivot:

- Ideal positioning close to the defense player to block defense movements, but also to create direct shooting situations.

- Picking up the ball and shooting under pressure.

- Catching the ball with one hand.

Factors of success for the back position players:

- Dynamic shifting.

- Decision-making: Direct shot/breakthrough, parallel pass, interaction with the pivots.

Implementation:

This sequence is particularly suitable when playing against more defensive defense systems or against defense systems that act more offensive (3-2-1 defense), but move back to 6-0 as soon as one of the back position players moves to the 6-meter line in order to play as second pivot.

Setting:

- Put three cone goals on the gym floor, so that you get a triangle.

- Put another three cones on the floor, in triangular form in the center of the triangle (see figure).

- There is one defense player in each cone goal, and one offense player each standing in front of the goals.

- Two players ( and ) are the pivots and start at the smaller triangle.

- is the feeder/receiver; the remaining players line up behind .

Course:

- initially passes into the running path of (A), moves to the right (B), and passes the ball past (C), to .

- Immediately after the pass, runs around the cone on the right (D), and receives a return pass from (E).

- then passes to , into his running path (F). also moves to the right (G) and “pushes” the ball through, to (H).

- runs around the right cone of his cone goal (J) and receives a return pass from (K).

- passes into the running path of (L). moves to the right and “pushes” the ball through to (M), who has moved to the respective cone behind the cone goal in the meantime (N), and so on.

- As soon as they have passed the ball to the moving attacking player, the players should move to his initial position (O).

The defense players should act defensively and allow the pass.

Change the defense players and the players in the center of the triangle.

Change the playing direction after some time. The players should then move to the left, “push” the ball through on the other side, and then run around the left cone of the respective cone goal, before eventually receiving the return pass.

Setting:

- Position two poles to define the running paths.
