What's in the Session?
We start with a pass and move game with a twist; your players use their hands to pass the ball!
Following this fun warm up game we then practice holding up the ball and shielding it from defenders. Through 1v1 practice we teach your players to have a good low body position, with knees bent and using their arms to feel where the defender is.
