From back to Front!

Two attacking players stand on either side of the goal area line and take it in turns to have gentle shots on goal (making it easy for the keeper to gather the ball). Once the keeper has stopped the shot they should pass the ball up the centre of the court into the path of the red player in front of them. Red players should aim to receive the ball on the move and then sprint forwards, dribbling the ball  with them, to the cone on the Centre line.

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
