      Small group game: Piston movement/countermovement of the back position players and interaction with the pivot (TU 6)

       Description:

      This training unit focuses on the interaction of the back position players with each other regarding piston movement/countermovement and passing to the pivot. Following warm-up, the back position players take the first methodical step regarding the interaction with the pivot during the ball familiarization phase. During the goalkeeper warm-up shooting and a subsequent offense exercise, the players practice the piston movement/countermovement which should result in a shot. In the following two small group exercises, the players stepwise further develop their piston movement/countermovement and the interaction with the pivot. The final exercise combines the different elements that the players practiced before with an initial action and creative continuous playing.

      The training unit consists of the following key exercises:

      - Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes)

      - Warm-up/Stretching (10/20)

      - Ball familiarization (10/30)

      - Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/40)

       Course:

      - The players move independently through the court dribbling a ball while making different running moves (forward, backward, sidestep).

      - Two players get into visual contact, dribble towards each other and pass their balls, make a running feint in front of each other (both to the same side!) and do an easy jump, i.e. either left-right-jump or right-left-jump. Afterwards, they keep on jogging and look for another teammate for the next action.

      The players perform stretching exercises together.
