Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the correct mechanics involved in the execution of the “Take Over” pass.
Field Preparation:
 Areas 10 x 10 yards. Small group of players. Balls. Cones.
Coaching Points:
Two players are positioned at each end of a grid 10 yards x 10 yards. One player runs towards his partner at the opposite side of the grid. At the midway point of the grid the players perform a take over pass. The player serving
the pass must kill the ball dead with the sole of his foot and accelerate to the opposite end. The player receiving
the take over accelerates with the ball to the opposite side. The next pair then repeats practice.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
Slow down speed at moment of executing the take over.
-
Ensure the server kills the ball dead by using the sole of the foot.
-
Receiver should run on the correct side of the server e.g.: run on the servers right if he is right footed.
-
Receiver should accept the ball using the laces of the shoe so the ball is taken in stride.
-
Controlling the ball using the inside of the foot will slow down run.
