Attacking a team defending with 5 out
A
·
Player A has possession of the ball but because the
opposition team are defending with ‘5 out’ , each player is marked. There
is no easy option here. Player A has no unmarked player to pass to. ·
Each player in the team must try to lose the opposition
marker in order to get into space and thereby allow player A to pass. ·
Otherwise player A has two options:- 1) to keep possession
of the ball or 2) to pass to a marked player.
·
To keep possession of
the ball player A must keep the ball on the opposite side of the kayak to
the marking player and remember to throw it at least 1 yard every 5
seconds in order to retain legal possession.
B
·
Player A passes to
marked player B. ·
The pass must go
either in front of player B or in the water on the opposite side to player
B’s marker. ·
Do not pass to player
B’s hands if being marked tightly as the marker will be able to tackle
player B with the ball in hand. Player B will be unable to perform support
strokes in this situation and can be easily hand tackled.
C
·
Player B tries to lose
his marker by using another player’s (C) kayak as a screen.(i.e. passing
as close as possible to player C but not leaving enough room for player
B’s marker to pass as well.) ·
If Player B succeeds
in losing his marker player A should pass to player B
· Player A is marked on
the goal line. All the other team-mates are also
marked. · Player B is a
substitute waiting behind the goal line. · Player A passes to
player B’s side of the pitch and then substitutes with player B by leaving
the pitch (i.e. going behind the goal line). · Player B waits for
player A to leave the pitch before coming onto the pitch and moving up the
pitch with the ball. Player B is now unmarked in possession of the
ball.
