Coaching Sessions

Quick counter-attacks

In Possession

This session encourages fast break attacks and provides support with pace and balance to enable the attack to go from quickly to carefully if needed. The use of attacking overloading principles will be adopted into this practice, with the use of nearside movement (2v1s) and far side width (an ability to attack the weaker side). We will also look at decision making when the fast break no longer permits a counter-attacking phase.
