Catching on the Move
DESCRIPTION
Set up 4 cones in a square, 3m apart 3 players start on different corners (leaving the top right corner free). The player at the bottom right runs to the free corner to receive the ball from the Player at the top left. The player at the bottom left runs to the now free corner to receive the ball. In this way players move around the square anticlockwise. Once they have made it back to their starting position, reverse the direction.

Hi Rhiannon,
To add progressions to the "Catching on the Move" drill and make it more challenging, you can introduce a defender. Here's a progression plan:
- Add Light Defense: Introduce a defensive player to disrupt the area. This defender should apply light pressure to the attackers, making it more challenging for them to catch the ball on the move.
- Increase Defense: Add another defender or instruct the existing defender to become more active. This will require the attackers to improve their decision-making and movement to successfully catch the ball.
