Objective
You will learn to prioritise between offence, defence, keeping the pack (and optionally star passes) as an offensive blocker.
Activity
Set up a track with two teams. Both teams play regular derby, the offence players carefully divide their attention between: <br>
- Playing offence
- Playing defence
- Keeping the pack (or making the pack, by tactically pushing opposing blockers)
- (Taking a star-pass, or alerting their pivot to this possibility)
Easy mode: One team plays full defence, the other has one offence person.
Hard mode: Both teams have one person on offence (this makes pack things more complicated). <br>
Before starting this drill, have a little talk with your team. Where should the offence player's priorities lie in your team? What does the jammer expect from their offence person? Is it one static person, or do you switch who plays offence during a jam? How do you communicate around all of this?
