COACHING POINTS

Receiving skills

Receive ball in front of the right foot, with weight on right foot in order to pass ball in either direction

Eyes watch ball onto stick

'Cushion' the ball with soft hands on receipt (stick moves back a little to ?give? as the ball is received)

As players improve they should have some idea of what they will do next having looked (scanned) (before they control the ball) they may pass left, or right or run with the ball etc

1st touch is important because it allows you to put the ball where you want to use it next

Balanced as ball is received, prepare early to pass ball and move away with ball as mentioned above
