A server is stationed in the center circle with a supply of balls.Two receiving players are positioned wide on the side-lines.
Coaching Points:
The practice starts when the server plays a ground pass to the forward. The forward player runs towards the ball and passes the ball "first time" to either of the wide receivers. After passing the ball, the forward must turn and sprint to the starting position.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
-
Server must deliver passes on the ground to enable the forward to pass using "one touch".
-
The forward should pass the ball with pace and accuracy.
-
Both wide receivers should present themselves as good targets.
-
Forwards should go full out on the return sprints.
