Lesson details
Key learning points
- Move: leading your movement with the shoulders and turning the hips quickly will speed up the dodge.
- Move: a sprinting movement on to the ball or transfer of weight will help to lose an opponent.
- Think: looking for where the ball and your opponent is will ensure you maintain an awareness of space.
- Feel: knowing when to move for a pass comes from a sense of timing.
- Connect: using hand signals, strong movements and eye contact will let teammates know you are ready for the pass.
Keywords
Dodge - an attacking movement using a quick change of direction at speed and into space to receive the ball
Shoulder pass - a fast and long pass typically performed one handed
Overhead pass - a two handed pass thrown from above the head to outwit a player marking the ball
Common misconception
A dodge from a static position is a good place to showcase a dodge in isolation.
In game play, it is encouraged to be active and on the toes and thinking about a prelim movement before a change of direction or speed can be executed therefore encouraging this in early drills is advised.
