Attacking circle rotations

Setup

1. GS and GA in the goal third against a GK and GD. WA feeds from the top of the circle edge, C from the baseline side.
2. Feeders start with a ball each; a spare ball sits behind the post for quick restarts.

How it runs

1. Feeders move the ball around the edge. Before the ball goes in, the shooters must rotate: one clears out, the other fills the space they left.
2. The ball only goes in to a held space (top, front or baseline). Shoot on the first clear look; both shooters crash the post on every shot.
3. Blocks of 3 minutes with 60 s rest, 4 blocks. Defenders swap with the shooters after each block.
4. Count goals from feeds into the circle, not feeds made.

Coaching points

• One shooter high, one low, never both on the same line or the same side of the post.
• Hold with a wide base and a clear target hand; release the hold only when the feeder's eyes and shoulders commit to the pass.
• Fill the cleared space on a diagonal, not a straight line, so the defender has to go around.
• Feeders: the baseline ball is a flat or bounce pass to the hip away from the defender; the top ball goes to the shooter's high hand.

Common mistakes

• Both shooters leading at once and crowding the feeder's options.
• Holding too early, so the defender resets before the ball arrives.
• The non-shooter stopping after the pass in instead of crashing the post.
