Positioning and handling at different angles

Description

In this session we are focusing on our players handling at different angles. The drill begins with the player facing away from the ball to react and position themselves centrally on the coaches instruction to then handle the ball. The same is then repeated on the opposite side. The player then looks to move to the inside right cone to replicate closing down an angle, before backpedaling to handle and repeating on the opposite side. The final angle sees the player move to the cone furthest away and then back before handling. The player should ensure that they get their body behind the ball when handling and if the ball isn’t close to the ball to handle, the push the ball away from goal. The drill should be completed at least three times.
