This Pod practice is inspired by Whit's awesome defense practice on Saturday. I am going to add the videos and Whit's language tomorrow but I wanted to get the practice out.
Review:
Defense is based on BeLieVe.
B = Buffer -
L = Loaded -
V = Vision -
Warm-up
Throwing Build up.
Plyos.
Drill #1: Mini Box 2v2
-Make a small box (5yd by 5yd) with 4 cones
- There is a person on offense and a person on defense in the box
- The person on defense choose which cone you are defending
- Work on your BLV to keep them away from the cone
Reps: Each person play defense 6x for a 10 second stall count
Drill #2: Sideline Handler (force trap; force flick)
- Thrower with a force flick trap mark. Handler cutter with a defender
- Defense work on forcing the handler cutter to the middle of field with positioning
Suggested reps: Play defense 3x
Drill #3: Big Side Handler (force big field; force flick)
- Thrower with a force flick with handler cutter on open side.
- Defender work on forcing defender up field (enticing thrower to make harder IO upfield flick)
Suggested reps: Play defense 3x
Drill #4: Defend the In cut (Have positioning)
- Make a V with cones.
- There is a person on offense and a person on defense. Offender starts at the cone.
- Defender is working on defending the in.
- Work on your BLV to push them to the breakside instead of the cone.
Reps: Each person complete 5 reps on D for the flick and backhand force. Ask the cutter for what percentage to cut. Good muscle memory reps at 50% are better then performing it well once in awhile at 100%.
Drill #5: Defend the In cut (Out of position)
- Make a V with cones.
- There is a person on offense and a person on defense. Offender starts at the cone.
- Defender is working on defending the in.
- Work on your BLV to push the cutter to the outside to force the "thrower" to make a loopy throw.
Reps: Each person complete 5 reps on D for the flick and backhand force. Ask the cutter for what percentage to cut. Good muscle memory reps at 50% are better then performing it well once in awhile at 100%.
Drill #6: Defending the deep.
- Have a thrower put up deep shots to a cutter and a defender.
- The person on offense has a step on the defender as if the defender was taking away the in cone.
- Defender is working on "Butt to Belly" to get in front of the offender
Reps: Each person complete 3 defensive reps.
If at any point you want more reps of a particular subject, DO IT! The rep count is a suggestion.
