Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the technical ability of the “Push Pass” with an emphasis on “pace and accuracy”.
Field Preparation:
 Area 10 x 10 yards. Three players. Two balls.
Coaching Points:
Two servers are positioned each side of the grid. Server's alternate passing the ball to the receiver whom passes back "first time", turns quickly and repeats with the opposite side. Ensure that the servers do not roll the ball too
far, so that the player in the center does not need to come to meet the ball. The player in the center should work
at full speed and concentrate on quality first touch passing.
If the player 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.
Create a competition between groups. See how many passes can be accomplished in 60 seconds, or who is the first player to reach 20 good passes. Only passes made on the ground are countable.
