Opening playing variants against various defense systems. Jörg Madinger

initially passes one of the balls to

(A).

      - Afterwards,

dribbles the second ball while running to the inner side, towards the right side of the poles (B).

      -

“pushes” the ball through to

at the 6-meter line (C),

picks up the ball (D), and shoots at the right side of the goal as instructed (hands, top, bottom) (E).

      - Immediately after the pass,

, into his running path (G).

      -

shoots at the left side of the goal, as instructed (H).

      - After the pass from

to

,

.

moves to the 6-meter line as the pivot (J).

      - After the shot,

becomes the attacking player with two balls (M).

      

The players should concentrate and fulfill their tasks in such a way that the goalkeeper receives a quick series of two shots, but is able to get in a proper position to save them.

      

Also do the course on the other side after a few rounds.

      A4.3 Preparatory exercise 3: Piston movements and counter movements with a pass to the pivot and a shot at the goal

      Setting:

      - Two players play defense.

      (Figure 1)

      Course:

      -

(A), into his broad piston movement path (B).

      -

feints a stem shot and then dynamically moves to the center (C) (if necessary, he may dribble the ball with the hand that is further away from the defense line, with the left hand in the example).

      - At the same time,

places a screen on the inner side, next to

(D), to obstruct the way for

to the center.

      -

eventually shoots at the goal from the back position (E).

      (Figure 2)

      - After the shot,

, into his broad piston movement path (G).

      -

feints a stem shot and then dynamically moves to the center (H) (if necessary, he may dribble the ball with the hand that is further away from the defense line).

      - With the stem shot,

moves and places a screen on the inner side, next to

(J).

      - After moving to the center,

passes the ball to the pivot (K);

catches the ball and shoots from the pivot position (L).

      - Afterwards, the players start the next round, with

playing on the pivot position.

      

The pivot should keep screening for as long as possible and leave the screening position (in order to catch the ball) as late as possible. Make sure the pivot maintains a proper screening posture.

      

Also do the course on the other side after a few rounds.
