Cherry Bombe : Twix one person offence

10
mins

Objective
You will learn to do a one person offence move where you switch with the jammer
Activity

In this offence move, the offence blocker starts besides or behind the other wall. As soon as your jammer engages the middle of that wall, the offence person comes very close to them and they switch places, all the while making sure that at least one of them is pushing in the middle of the wall. The offence then keeps pushing the wall, trying to keep them engaged and lure them into acting as if the offence is the jammer. The jammer is then free to pass the wall.

Tips:

  • it helps if the initial engagement is in the middle of the wall, but a bit to the side of the track, to leave room to pass on the other side.
  • keep pushing the wall with force, really force them to engage with you

Fun fact: We call this move the Twix because just like a twix contains two very similar chocolate bars, this move makes the jammer and offence look very similar.

Check For Learning

For offence players:

  • You know the tactic and can use it
  • You will get your jammer a quick lead
  • You perform excellent aftercare (making sure the blockers you've just offenced don't sprint after your jammer), and you balance this well with moving on to the next person
  • For jammers:
  • You can take advantage of the offence played for you
  • You communicate about this with your offence player
