Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve each player’s ability to "Turn on the ball".
Field Preparation:
 Grid 10 x 20 yards. Small group of players. Cones. 1 Ball.
Coaching Points:
Small group of players per grid, using one ball. The grid should be 10 yards x 20 yards. The players are spilt into two equal group and positioned as in the diagram above. The player with the ball starts the practice by passing the ball to a receiver.
The player follows the pass as the receiver controls the ball as economically as possible, turns and passes to the next player in sequence. The passing player then follows the pass and is next in sequence to receive the ball. The practice is repeated IN this way. The speed of the practice should be increased gradually.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
Demand the ball from the server. Call for the pass.
-
Control and turn using either the inside or outside of the foot.
Try to receive the ball in a "Side on" position to improve your vision.
Come for the ball at wide angles, not just a straight run towards the passer.
-
Turn quickly and get the ball out of the feet.
- Try to turn and pass in two touches.
