1. Plan for Error Activity Objective: Preventing the turn (u14)
Success Points:
When offensive player goes backwards close space aggressively behind him. Do not let him drop back, turn & run at you.
Likely Error:
No “high to low fast to slow”: defender does not get low enough and/or closes too tentatively.
Response(s):
Isolate and practice closing a static player without the ball 5 or 6 times to automate speed and body position. Then back to live play with ball.
Too aggressive; builds habit of fouling
Response(s): “
I’m going to add a whistle and be the referee now. If I blow the whistle the offensive player gets two points.”
