Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the technical ability of the “Push Pass” with an emphasis on
accuracy.
Field Preparation:
Area 10 x 10 yards. Small group of players. Supply of balls. Cones.
A small group of players are positioned at one side of the grid with the server at the opposite side.
Each player alternates receiving a rolled pass from the server. Players should try to pass the ball
“first time” through the two cones, turn and join the end of the group.
A point is awarded for each pass returned on the ground and through the cones.
