Passing and reactions: Listen, drive and receive:

Two Players, One ball.

The receiver Stands on the center cone, facing AWAY from the feeder.

The feeder, standing three meters away from their partner is standing in a forward stance, ready to pass the ball.

The feeder will give a command, directing the receiver the either stay, run left or run right. Depending on the command, the receiver must make a quick and decisive 180 degree turn to face their partner before then driving to receive and return the pass from where they have been directed to by their partner.

This drill will ensure your players drive onto the ball and don't dawdle.

    Catching on the Move:

    Set up 4 cones in a square, 3m apart

    3 players start on different corners (leaving the top right corner free).

    The player at the bottom right runs to the free corner to receive the ball from the Player at the top left.

    The player at the bottom left runs to the now free corner to receive the ball.

    In this way players move around the square anticlockwise.

    Once they have made it back to their starting position, reverse the direction.
