Moving ball down centre of the court
Description of move
• The main
object of this play is to move the ball down the centre of the court
• The players set up as shown and drive into the centre of the court
towards their own shooting circle
• If the GK passes to the WD first, then the GD would
drive forward to receive the next pass
• The GS can dodge left or right, or can hold her space
Coaching
Points
• Timing here is very important. Don't go too early and a dodge might be
required to lose the defender
•
Encourage your players to land on the foot furthest away from the thrower.
This will assist their landing
and should make passing the ball to the next player easier and
quicker
• the" Plus Sign" routine on "Warm Up Routines & Practices
No.1 is a good exercise to practice this skill
• The ball needs to be passed in front of the player so that she
can drive onto it
