Many coaches mean - and not wrongly - that the players must get used
to free passes and free pattern of movements at once, where the simple
basic rules regarding running in front or behind are kept.
LEARNING:
However it is more easy for the players
to understand the basic running lanes and passing possibilities, if
they in the start (the first lessons) for instance by training in running
in front and behind separately. During this the coach must make the
basic rules clear. The players must lean the different possibilities
regarding playing and passing by using an established (dictated) training
course
IMPORTANT:
This way of training must only be
used in the learning phase or if the coach will teach the team a certain
playing system, which suits the team.
UNDERSTANDING THE TRAINING:
It is important that
both the coach and the players understand the idea with basic training
and they are comfortable with the exercises.
The basic play is exercises
and ball exercises, where the players have the best conditions to train
those passings, which are most natural (and by this also the best) to
use in the attack play.
When the players (by training) become familiar
with basic lanes and passing forms in the basic exercises, a greater
speed and better rhythm in the play is obtained.
The result is that
the players freely start to use the different passes, movement and running
lanes in the attack play, when the situations occurs (at first during
training and later in the match). This will give better chances for
scoring, because the combinations will be performed faster, more secure
and more confusing for the defense
At the same time good play and
shooting possibilities in the single situation occurs. The different
basic play exercises are performed in a training circle. That means
that ball- and maybe also player circulation is done without shooting.
This causes a lot of repetitions of throwing, catching and running within
a short time for all the players. A good way of training. Therefore
remember: All effective training is in principle built on a lot of repetition.
This gives a faster and greater learning effect.
Intention with the training:
It is also important
that the coach and players understand, that it is not the intention,
that the players - in the attack play - must feel themselves tied up
to the basic movement and passing patterns.
In common the free attack
play is build upon the piston movement, where the players play their
own position. That means they have their own place during a 3-3 or 4-2
attack.
When a player opens/start an attack to obtain a scoring chance
for herself or team-mates by using feints, running in, cross etc then
the team-mates join the attack by crossing, screening and more, because
they have experienced the movements during the basic training. If the
scoring chance does not occur, the rhythm of the play is changed and
by using free ball and player circulation, the reposition themselves
and are ready for a new attack. If a scoring chance occurs while doing
this, it is up to the players to use it.
REMEMBER:
It is quite common that the players
only use a few consecutive combinations from the basic training , when
they try to bring themselves into a shooting solution.
The basic
play training must therefore be a natural part in the training. This
is well used during warming up.
Make the players get used to train
the exercises, which match their skill. Then the team will get used
to use the combinations and passings from the basic training in their
free play during a season, which again will give a more "chance creating"
play.
BASIC RULES IN THE BASIC PLAYING EXERCISE DRAWINGS:
1 |
The exercises normally starts with the ball/pass on the
wings. |
2 |
The passes must be placed against/in front of the receiving
player, while she is oriented against the ball and so early
that she is able to react and catch the ball. This gives security
in the play. Note: Backward passing can be trained later. |
3 |
A player running in (in front/behind) always runs all the
way to the opposite back or wing. |
4 |
The wing players basic position is where the free-throw
line and the sideline meets, and a running in player always
runs between the goal circle and wing player. |
5 |
The wing players starts her running in (in front/behind)
after having received the ball, and normally runs in after the
pass |
6 |
The passing sequences are shown on the drawings, and is
mostly from left wing to right wing and then reversed. This
is valid for all running in exercises (in front/behind). |
7 |
The way of passing, which is suitable in the training exercises
are normally for right handed players. Left handed players do
the same in the opposite direction |
8 |
The rear court players must get used to the correct movements
such as piston movement, crossings and so on, in the different
combinations in order that the rhythm of the training is ideal |
9 |
It is of great importance for the players (especially youth)
that they learn all the positions while training. That means
that they won't be tied to a certain position. Please do
let the players during training get used to all the positions,
so they will be comfortable with all the positions, passings
and running lanes. |
10 |
If more players attend the training that the players, who
are needed to 2 training teams (1 team at each goal) following
possibilities can be used:
a - |
Use 2 players on some of the positions in the basic
training. Those players take turns. |
b - |
"Waiting players" are used on the positions and
comes into action after - for instance - 3 training
passes |
c - |
An extra circle is made by cones at the center line
of the court, which gives the possibility of 3 training
teams. (works fine) |
