by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

#3 – KICK OPTION FROM BEHIND TO KEEP FORWARDS BACK This starts with a short hit up from Benji and he does exactly what the Swans do on his own accord by pushing forward from behind so our forwards don’t have to come up too and high leaving us with no one to kick to....

by swans05, posted in Sydney Swans Game Style, Training/Coaching Articles

#2 – OPTION FROM BEHIND HANDBALL RECEIVE IN FRONT OF THE MAN ON THE MARK I should have mentioned yesterday that we tend to go lateral/backwards a lot because our home ground is postage stamp and that’s often the only way you can maintain possession and lengthen the ground to open up space in front...
