Chip to Target

.
 

Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the quality of individual chip passing. 

 

Field Preparation:
Areas 40 x 30 yards. Large group of players. Balls. Cones. Colored bibs.

Coaching Points:

An area is marked out approximately 40 yards by 30 yards. Zones approximately 5 yards deep are marked out at each end of the grid. Two teams of 4 or more players are placed within the grid and wear different color vests. Two receivers are positioned in each end zone. These players are restricted to the end zone. 

The practice starts when the coach serves a ball into the grid. The team that secures possession of the ball attempts to quickly chip the ball to any receiver in the end zones to control.

The team scores a point if the receiver can control the pass. After scoring a point, the same team receives the ball from the player in the end zone and they must now attack the opposite side of the grid.  The defending team must work hard to win the ball and score points as explained. 

Keep score. First team to obtain 5 successful chip passes wins. Rotate groups regularly.
