Warm Up

Light Jog
Jog-Sprint-Change Direction
Split Group into 2 and send 1/2 to do sprints and the
other half to ball handling.
This will work if we have enough non-evaluators to time the girls.
If numbers permit, all evaluators will watch each group as they go. If not
we will
have two evaluators watch one group and two watch a second group and then
switch off. |

One on One Attacker vs Defender
| What to look for: |
To see who traps a hard clear under pressure and then can
elude a defender. For the defender, to see who is aggressive on the ball without being
overly aggressive so that they are easily beaten. |
| Option: |
Can add sideline players so that there are give and go options |
| Time: |
About 15 minutes |
| Set up: |
Define boundary lines
Have ball served at a good pace and to various parts of the body.
Have 3 girls waiting to take the ball
Switch the attacker to the defender line and the defender to the end of the attacker line.
Have the girls bring the balls back to the server. |
3 vs 3 Game or 5 vs 5
| What to look for: |
To find out who can play under pressure. Who can move the
ball to an open teammate. Look for who can move without the ball. Look for combination
passes (Wall, overlap, etc.) Look to see who provides depth on the field (through balls). |
| Time: |
About 45 minutes |
| Set up: |
This is a drill where we can do relegation. Start with 3
on 3 in 5 or six different fields.
If we want to score ,score 1 point for 3 consecutive passes plus an
additional point for each pass after that, 3 points for each combination, 3 points for
each through ball.
Give a point to the defender if they dispossess the attacker and make a
successful pass.
Ten (10) wins. Winning team moves up losing team moves down except on the
lowest rung where the losing team remains and the highest where the winning team remains. |
Can also relegate players based on coaches evaluation. Depending on number
of players can have 5 games going on simultaneously. Make sure the evaluators move from
group to group.
