Thrower Marker Drill

Setup

  • Groups of three
  • One disc per group

Objective

  • Learn to pass around a defender

Area

Functions

  • One person is the thrower, one is the marker, and one is the receiver. The thrower attempts a pass to the receiver, while the marker attempts to block
  • The thrower then becomes the marker, the receiver becomes the next thrower, and the marker becomes the next receiver

Safety

CHANGE IT ideas

  • Coaching: encourage players to pivot when they throw
  • Game rules: limit what the marker can do if there is a newer player throwing – eg: stand further back, cannot move their feet, etc.
