Hi Dani. The "Receiving under the post" drill is designed to improve a player's ability to receive the ball effectively under the post. In this drill, players work in pairs. The worker runs out to touch the circle edge and then runs back in to receive the ball, after which they return the ball to the feeder. The worker should then run out to the edge of the circle again (in a different place) and return to catch the next ball. The feeder should aim to make the worker stretch and not wait for them to be in position under the post to throw the ball.
This drill is indeed about getting free, as it emphasises movement and positioning to effectively receive the ball under pressure. It helps players practice getting free from defenders to receive the ball in a shooting position.
