Tight 1v1s
Source:
This drill allows defenders to work on tight defence from below GLE and attackmen to work on their rocker step and post-ups rips.
Drill Description:
Start this 1v1 just above GLE with the defender marking the ball carrier (just like a post-up in basketball).
To start with, just have the two players play this out for a few seconds; this gets the offensive player comfortable with a defender on his back and gets the defender used to trying to body out the dodger.
The offensive player should use his Rocker Step (dodge) and Post-Up Rips (shot from stationary position) and the defender just tries to body him out and drive him back below the goal line or out wide.
This drill should be pretty physical and it is a good opportunity to get some all-position/ao-position work in by having everybody get some reps at both offense and defense.
Here is a video that explains how an attackman can beat his defender and what they should be looking to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dONPfTtv7BM
