Coaching Pointers:
The entire group is positioned in a grid 20 yards x 20 yards. All but one player has a ball. The practice is started with one defender placed in the center of the grid (Mad Max). The defender tries to kick the dribbling player’s ball
out of the grid. Once the player has been dispossessed, he then becomes a member of the Mad Max gang and
has to help him kick the ball out of the grid. The last player remaining in possession of a ball is the winner.
Encourage the players to seek out defenders and not hide in corners. The dribbling players should use a variety of dribbling moves while scanning the grid for open spaces and defensive players. The winner of the practice becomes Mad Max in the following game. Players should also look to screen the ball whenever needed, using their arms to hold off pressurizing defenders. |
