Training of stem shot variants for back position players – decision-making TU (28)

Description:

This training unit focuses on improving stem shots. Following warm-up, the players repeat different stem shot variants during the ball familiarization phase. After a shooting competition and the goalkeeper warm-up shooting, the players practice these shooting variants by playing against an inactive defense player before they practice making stem shot decisions by playing against a more active defense player. In a series of shots and another individual offense exercise, the players subsequently practice the different stem shot variants in various situations similar to the real game. Finally, they implement the shooting variants in a 3-on-3 game.

The training unit consists of the following key exercises:

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

- Ball familiarization (15/25)

- Shooting competitions (10/35)

TU 28-1 Warm-up/Stretching (10/10)

Course:

- Each player has a handball.

- The players crisscross the field and make different running moves (forward, backward, sidestepping, hopping) while dribbling their ball.

- After about one minute, the coach gives the sign for the players to do the respective task below before they may start dribbling again:

→ One whistle: The players bounce the ball against the wall and catch it again five times.

→ Two whistles: The players bounce the ball against the wall, jump over the ball once it has bounced back, run after it, and finally pick it up.

→ Three whistles: The players make pairs, bounce their balls against the wall three times simultaneously, and then try to catch their teammate’s ball.

Afterwards, the players perform stretching/mobilization exercises together.
