Goal:
1. improve trapping ball from left and right. Focus: feet forward + receive to pass
2. NEW: prescanning
Exercise
* No 3 stays on other side square and need to cover the whole square.
* no 1+ 2 stay left and right. They play to each other untill they find space to pass to No 3.
* if defender gets ball = person who lost becomes defender.
* if pass gets to No 3, then the person who didn't pass the ball goes to other side. Then exercise starts from that side.
Example: No 2 passes to No 3. Thus No 1 runs to other side. No 3 + No 1 now passing together, trying to get ball to No 2.
PRE SCANNING
before you get the ball you look if there is space to pass.
Important in this excersise:
1. receive with your feet forward
2. step in front of ball to be able to pass straight away.
