Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve “forward” passing for players.
Field Preparation:
 Center grid is 20 x 20 yards, end grids 10 x 20 yards. 12 players. Balls. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
Use two teams of six players. Four players in each team are positioned and restricted to the center grid.
Two players on each team act as “target players” and are placed in the end grid on the same side as their team.
Center grid is 20 x 20 yards, end grids 10 x 20 yards.
The coach begins the practice by serving a lofted ball into the center grid. Both teams fight for possession. Once a team has possession the object is to play the ball forward to one of the two “target players” as quickly as possible using the minimum amount of passes. A goal is scored by successfully passing the ball to the target player’s feet.
Players should use various techniques such as dribbling, turning, crossover runs and the “wall pass” to position themselves for forward passes. The coach should keep the service rapid as soon as a goal is scored.
Rotate target players with two central players every five minutes.
