Two queus of players. Player makes a leading run past halfway point and calls for a pass from the other queue.
Player is aiming to receive the ball in an open stance letting it roll across their body to pass it back to their origuinal queue.
A. Receive across the front of the body (right hand side)
B. Receive under the arm (left hand side)
Teach body positioning for open receiving. Open shoulders and track ball with eyes and stick.
What is the most important thing for a good and fast open receive? WEIGHT OF THE PASS!
If the pass is too powerful it will SLOW DOWN the play because the receiver will likely need to stop the ball dead before turning.
