Field Preparation
Practice area approximately 20 yards x 20 yards, Group of 8 to 12 players. 2 Balls.
Coaching Points
Place 2-3 players at each flag pole. Start with one ball. Player "A" starts the practice by passing to player "B" and he follows his pass. Player "B" has made a timed run to receive the ball. Player "B" passes "one touch" to player "C" who has made a timed run. Player "C" passes "one touch" to the next player in sequence. The routine is repeated around the square in this manner.
Players should time their runs. Don't get ahead of the ball!
Progression:
A second ball should be added as soon as the players have established a good tempo.
Change direction of the drill and work on opposite foot.
Coach should develop a high tempo rhythm as quickly as possible.
Players must constantly be moving and communicating with each other.
Passes should be quality followed with explosive runs into space.
