The Session
2 target players at either end of the playing area, and 4 players within the playing area. Blue players look to receive the ball from the Red player, and transfer the ball to the opposite end of the playing area. 2 balls are used at the same time.
Key Coaching Points
Players should play a firm pass into the receiving players so in a game situation the pass would not get intercepted by the defenders.
When receiving the ball players should receive the ball on the half turn and their back foot. If players are receiving in front of a defender to set the ball back, players should receive on the front foot with their arms out for balance and protection of the ball.
Encourage players to move away from defenders to create an angle to receive a pass.
