DESCRIPTION

Coaches Objective: To develop players ability to make decisions prior to receiving (Pre- Scan) and make a supporting run off the ball immediately after passing

Purpose: To outscore opponents by completing as many wall passes as possible

Structure:

23m square
3 players per team
Each wall pass gains 1 point

COACHING POINTS

Plan ahead and Pre-Scan the space that the ball carrier wants to use
Move late and sharply to the position where you wish to receive
Angle body to open up the next pass
Grip the stick tight “Bunt” the ball with an extension at both elbows
Hands below the knees
Stress the sharpness of movement following a pass
Draw opponent in close remaining calm before a quick “Give and Go” wall pass
It is important the defender is moving towards the passer making it difficult for them to react to a quick “Give and Go” pass

Passing & Receiving

Colour code:

Set out lines of cones in two different colours.

One player always along the red line and the other always along the blue cones.

Players pass the ball to the other player every time they reach a cone, culminating in a switching of sides and changing of passing order when they reach the final cone.
