GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – PRESSING HIGHER AND HIGHER

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS- RUN FROM BEHIND OPTIONS (FREE)

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

I first saw this running from behind play tactic from the Sydney Swans in 2021 based off player movement in soccer but you now see a lot of it in AFLW because it’s very effective to lengthening the ground and maintaining team connection all over the ground + they sort of have to do it...

GAME/TRAINING SCENARIOS – KICK OUT ALONG BOUNDARY LINE

by swans05, posted in Game/Training Scenarios

The game video shows the 1 specific way the Bulldogs exited their defensive 50 via their kick out but as I state in the training video, that is just 1 of many options that this set up will present to the offensive team and it’s all about taking what the defense gives you and taking...

3v3 to 6v6 TRAINING GAME

by swans05, posted in Training Drills
