Objective:

• To teach every player how to jockey as a defender.

Organization:

• Split into groups of 4 (if uneven numbers have one or more groups of 5).
• Put in marker lines 20 yards apart (less if it is a small gym).
• Start with three on one side and one (or two) on the other side.
• In the three group, 1 player dribbles the ball across the area; the other jockeys back, the 3rd player waits.
• The jockeying player is not allowed to tackle or intercept the ball.
• Dribbler moves the ball left and right and tries to go past the defender.
• On reaching the other side, the dribbler plays the ball to the waiting player (or with 5 the front player) and then the dribbler becomes the defender on the return.
• This continues for 6 - 8 minutes.

Teaching:

• Encourage the defender to crouch low and at 45 degrees to the dribbler.
• Not too close, nor too far away - touch tight to the dribbler.
• Defender must not turn through 360 degrees.
• Always has a view of the ball.
• Dribbler must try to unbalance defender by faking and change of pace.

Target:

• To perfect the technique of jockeying in One-on-One defending.
