Exercise Objectives:
This practice is designed to improve the correct mechanics involved in the execution of the “Push Pass", with an emphasis on accuracy.
Field Preparation:
 Area 20 x 20 yards. 2 players. 1 ball.
Coaching Points:
Two players are positioned in a grid 20 yards x 20 yards. One player starts the practice with two balls.
The player passes the first ball to their partner to control and redirect approximately 2 to 5 yards in front of them.
They then pass the second ball for their partner to redirect and try to hit the first ball.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
Keep the feet moving and be balanced at all times.
-
Develop a feel for the correct distance you need to redirect the ball.
-
Adjust the body position to hit the ball with the pass.
-
Give firm and accurate passes to your partner feet when serving.
The first player to hit the ball 3 times wins. Rotate so different players compete against each other. |
