In this drill, one player is in the middle with the ball and the objective is to get out of the area. On the edges there are three defenders who are not allowed to enter the area, but only prevent the player from leaving it. One development suggestion is to change, after a blocked exit attempt and a turnover, into a 3v1 rondo in the same area, where the defenders are allowed to enter the area. When a turnover or a failed pass occurs in the rondo, the drill starts over from the beginning.
- Coaching key points
- Eyes up – The player must observe the defenders' positioning and look for a free route out. Feints, changes of direction, changes of pace
- Key questions
- When is the right moment to advance and from which direction? How can you use feints to make the defender react incorrectly? How can you combine a change of direction with acceleration to get through?
