Goal:
* repeat trap ball from right + left
* NEW BH/ reverse trap
Exercise
* 4 pp at 1 side. Rotation 1-2-1
* 1 plays ball to 2.
* 2 receives ball from right with feet forward + dribbles to cone on side line. At cone he pulls back and plays ball to 1 again.
* After 2 plays ball back to 1, he quickly runs into the game turf where he needs (and can only) trap the ball on his reverse.
* if 1 gets ball back he needs to pass as fast as he can in the goal. That's how he scores.
At the end a small game:
Who got most points? Scoring a goal = 2 pnts no 1. If no 2 traps ball on his reverse before the goal= 3 pnts.
