Opening playing variants against various defense systems. Jörg Madinger

, who moves to the other side of in order to place a screen (D).

      - If this is not possible, the ball should be passed to

(E), who also should check whether

is in a good position to receive a pass.

      - 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.

      A4: Interaction of the back position players with the pivot to overcome defensive defense formations

      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.

      A4.1 Preparatory exercise 1: Ball familiarization with passing to the 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 (

) are the pivots and start at the smaller triangle.

      -

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

.

      - Immediately after the pass,

(E).

      -

(H).

      -

(K).

      -

passes into the running path of

(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.

      A4.2 Preparatory exercise 2: Goalkeeper warm-up shooting via the pivot position

      Setting:

      - Position two poles to define the running paths.

      Course:

      -

starts with two balls.
