Improving the interaction of back position players with the pivot (TU 1)

The objective of this training unit is to practice the interaction of a back position player with the pivot. Following warm-up and a running coordination exercise, the players prepare for the running moves in the back positions during the ball familiarization phase. After the goalkeeper warm-up shooting, there will be three offense exercises in which the players further develop the team play step by step. In a 4-on-4 game, the players should implement what they practiced before.

The training unit consists of the following key exercises:

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