Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve the technical ability of the “Push Pass” with an emphasis on
“pace and accuracy”.
Field Preparation:
Area 10 x 10 yards. Two players. One ball, Four cones.
One player is positioned at one side of a grid, 10 yards x 10 yards. The player receives the ball
from the server. The receiving player must pass the ball back to the server "first time" and only
scores a point for each pass back on the ground to the server’s hands. After each pass the
receiver must turn and run back to the starting position.
The server should pass the ball approximately 5 yards. If the server passes the ball too far the
receiving player will not come to meet the ball. With a correctly weighted pass the receiving
player will always be encouraged to come and meet the ball.
