Shield the ball away from the defender to turn and finish


Description

In this session we are focusing on shielding the ball away from the defender to turn and finish. The drill begins with the player dropping in towards the mannequin/pole. The coach then passes the ball to the player who looks to turn back to the direction they came from. The player should look to use the outside foot to receive the ball to protect the ball when turning. Once the player has turned away they finish. As soon as they finish the player moves round and in front of the mannequin to move onto the ball and finish again. Each set should consist of 3 - 5 reps and should be completed at least three times.
