to the pivot following different initial actions are a factor of success against any defense system. The players initially play against offensive defense systems; usually, there are large gaps which can be used by the pivot, and passing the ball to the pivot is possible very frequently.
A3.1 Preparatory exercise 1: Passing to the pivot
Setting:
- The players each have a ball and stand on both back positions. They should stand broadly (close to the side line).
- One pivot and one defense player each stand on either side of the 7-meter line.
Basic position of the pivot:
-
stands in basic position, placing a screen next to , and stretching the hand upward that is further away from the defense player, to catch a pass (figure 2).-
should keep the defense player behind by using his body and a proper leg posture.-
must not use his left arm for screening off (in the example), but rather hold it in front of his body.(Figure 1)
Course:
-
in direction of the latter’s hand stretched upward.-
should catch the ball with one hand (ideally) (A).- As soon as he has caught the ball,
turns around and shoots at the goal (B).- Afterwards, the players start the sequence over on the other side, with
and (C).(Figure 2)
Instructions for the two defense players:
- At the beginning of the exercise, the defense player should allow the catching, turning and shooting moves.
- In the next step, the defense player should increase the pressure right before the pivot receives the pass and try to leave the screen.
- As soon as the pivot has received the ball, the defense player should vigorously try to prevent him from shooting at the goal.
The pivots should place the screening in such a way that the defense player always stands behind them.
A3.2 Preparatory exercise 2: Finding the right timing for a pass
Setting:
- The two foremost defense players (
and ) initially stand at the 9-meter line.- The pivot and the respective defense player (
and ) start at the 7-meter line.(Figure 1)
Course:
-
passes the ball into the running path of (A).-
, so that must sidestep towards the outer side in order to adjust his position (B).(Figure 2)
→
places a screen next to (see previous exercise – figure 2).- If the passing path to the inner side, i.e. to
, is unobstructed, directly (C).- If the passing path to the inner side is obstructed,
should try to break through to the inner side 1-on-1 (D).→
should take care that his throwing hand is never blocked so that he can play a pass anytime.-
should try to prevent a breakthrough to the inner side (E).- As soon as the passing path to
has become free during the 1-on-1 action, the pass should be played (F) (figure 3).(Figure 3)
, so that he ideally can catch it with one hand (figure 4).
(Figure 4)
-
catches the ball, turns around immediately, and shoots at the goal (not in the figure).- Afterwards, the players repeat the course on the other side.
