Exercise Objectives:
This exercise is designed to encourage player’s to pass the ball “through the lines”.
Coaching Pointers:
Start the practice with one ball per team. Each team circulates the ball around the playing area. Play “two touch”. Each team gets a point every time they can make a pass “through the lines” using a “one touch” pass.
- Same as above but now there is only one ball and teams compete against each other. Can progress using 2 balls.
- Penetration is a key component in passing. Players should be encouraged to run into space and pass into space.
- Play through or down the channels.
- Be aware of body shape when receiving the ball.
Field Preparation:
- Area approximately 20 yards x 30 yards.
- Two equal teams, 5v5, 6v6 etc. Balls, bibs and cones.
