Excellent site with easy to navigate pages.

Lawrence

DESCRIPTION

Set up with 2 cones as shown with 2 players at each end and 1 ball.

Player with the ball passes the ball across and then quickly drops off. Their partner should move to the ball and take a good first touch before passing the ball back with their second touch and then dropping off.

The players should look to move backwards when off the ball and forwards when the pass is made to them.

COACHING POINTS

Demand firm passes to test the first touch of your players.

The first touch of 1 player should be a trigger for the other player to stop moving backwards and start to move forwards.

You can maniplulate the distance between the two cones accordingly to demand a different distance of passing & movement.
