Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the correct mechanics involved in the execution of the “Push Pass.”
Field Preparation:
 Area 10 x 10 yards. 2 players. 1 ball. Cones.
Coaching Points:
Two players are positioned in a grid 10 yards x 10 yards. One player acts as a server, the other as the receiver.
The server passes the ball into different areas of the grid for the receiver to chase, turn, and pass back to the server.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
Work at a high intensity.
-
Turn as economically as possible when controlling the ball.
-
Place non-kicking foot along side the ball, not too close so that it will prevent the natural swinging motion of the kicking leg.
-
The ankle of the kicking foot must be firm.
-
Use a slight drawback of the kicking foot.
-
Strike the ball with the inside of the kicking foot through the horizontal mid-line of the ball.
-
The head should be kept steady and eyes fixed firmly on the ball.
Alternate player’s roles every 60 seconds.
