In the case of the hybrid mode of the exercise, first, we’ll do the part of the 1×0 described above and then to the order of ‘it’s Game!’ the coach, you will play a 1×1 in which the player who had the initiative will be the attacker and the player that made of mirror will be the defender. We can modulate the difficulty of the 1×1 making the player defender pot or not. In either case, incidiremos in:
- Placement in a Basic Position to a Defensive defender on the line attacker-ring.
- The denial of the change of hand asking for the placement of the hand farthest from the ball.
