What you’ll learn
I can use a change of direction and change of speed to move into space and receive a pass
Key learning points
- Move: leading your movement with the shoulders and turning the hips quickly will speed up the dodge.
- Move: a sprinting movement on to the ball or transfer of weight will help to lose an opponent.
- Think: looking for where the ball and your opponent is will ensure you maintain an awareness of space.
- Feel: knowing when to move for a pass comes from a sense of timing.
- Connect: using hand signals, strong movements and eye contact will let teammates know you are ready for the pass.
Words to know
- dodge
- an attacking movement using a quick change of direction at speed and into space to receive the ball
- shoulder pass
- a fast and long pass typically performed one handed
- overhead pass
- a two handed pass thrown from above the head to outwit a player marking the ball
Common mistakes
A dodge from a static position is a good place to showcase a dodge in isolation.
In game play, it is encouraged to be active and on the toes and thinking about a prelim movement before a change of direction or speed can be executed therefore encouraging this in early drills is advised.
For parents, carers and teachers
- The lesson focuses on dodging and pass variety, however the final 'line ball' game is ideal for moderation to showcase the use of attacking movements and the defender being able to mark the player and the ball.
