Objective of the Practice:
This practice is structured to improve the technical ability of the “Cushion Control using the Feet”.
Field Preparation:
 Grid 10 x 20 yards. Small group of players. Cones. 2 Balls.
Coaching Points:
Place two servers with a ball each at both sides of the grid. The server throws a high looped pass to the receiving player.
The ball should be served approximately 5 yards in front of the server. With a correct serve the receiving player is always encouraged to come and meet the serve.
After successfully controlling the ball the player must pass the ball back to the server. The player receives a point
for each successful control and pass back to the server. After each pass the receiver must turn and receive a pass from the opposite server.
The players in the center should work at full speed and concentrate on quality first touch passing. If the players working turns to a server for a pass, and the server is retrieving the ball, the player must continue to run and turn to receive the ball from the opposite server. The player should not wait for a server to retrieve the ball.
Competitions should be played e.g.: how many points in 60 seconds, the first player to reach 20 points wins.
