- Practice giving and receiving the push pass
- Beginning to lead in and out of the pass
- The ball should be taken slightly infront of the player
- This will allow the ball to be carried across the body with soft hands
- The player receiving the initial pass should move the ball into a playing position once the trap has been complete ready to play the next push pass
- For inexperienced players, allow them to use a low, flat trap. Once this is comfortable, emphasis should be put on receiving the ball in the upright playing position
- Introduce a passive defender to put more pressure on the trap
