ABOUT BASIC TRAINING
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:
