Screen 2

Method: 1vs1 for decision making


- Blue(Attacker) vs Red(Defender)

- Red has two options for his/her first reaction : pressing the blue or Stand still when the ball holder passes to the attacker.

- The attacker scans to see whether the red is coming for interception or not. If the red is not, the attacker can turn straight away and go one on one. If he is, the attacker's priority is now to protect the ball and see a chance to turn away from the defender.

Coaching Points:

- Timing of scanning. Ideally when the ball travels. 

- Don't be afraid of looking away from the ball.

- Facilitate a smooth rotation (Passer → Defender → Attacker) *Flow of rotation.
