COACHING POINTS

Players need to drive out to meet the ball - hands out in front ready and signaling for the ball.

Encourage players to clear the space quickly to allow the practice to flow.

Feeders need to throw an accurate, high, powerful ball to the player driving towards them in order for the player to be able to turn in the air - shoulder or overhead pass.

Turning in the air is a much quicker way of getting in the direction you wish to pass the ball rather than pivoting. Pivoting is very stop start whereas turning in the air if executed correctly is performed n one fluid movement allowing the attacker to have a edge on the defender.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Round High Pass:

Split into pairs with 1 ball.

White player 1 moves forward to receive either a short pass or a bounce pass from Blue player 1 and returns the ball. White player 1 then runs around Blue player 1 before receiving a high pass and returns the ball to Blue player 1, repeat.
NB Encourage White player 1 to lead with one shoulder when moving back in order to signal to the feeder.

Warm ups

Reactions:

4 players, 2 balls.

The Player in the middle has to, on reciept of the ball, pass the ball onto a player that does not have a ball. This can not be to the player that just passed them the ball.

Progression
Players 1 and 3 move wider around the worker.

Warm ups

Pass and Run - In front, behind:

Players stand in 2 lines, with a feeder in front of each line.

Players pass the ball out to their feeder and then swap sides (going in front or behind the other passing player) to receive the return pass from the other feeder.

Players receive the pass from the feeder and then pass to the next players for them to go again.

Warm ups

Side to Side Pass:

Players work in pairs with 1 ball. The worker (white) receives the ball from feeder (blue) at shoulder height while moving left and right alternately (approx. 1 metre either side of central position).

Encourage workers to land on their outside foot (ie. on right foot when moving to the right and vice versa) and then step towards feeder with second foot to release the ball.
