Fundamental
Partner Passing – Passing and Receiving
Set Up: There are 12-16 players set up inside of the small field, working in pairs.
Procedure: The players pass and move within the space, using the entire field and avoiding contact with the other players. Certain conditions can be put on the drill:
1) Two touch passing only.
2) Jump out from behind a player to receive.
3) Check away before receiving.
4) Turn away when receiving, and then turn back again.
Teaching Topics:
1 Passing angles.
2 Passing.
3 Decision making.
Progressions:
1 Players sprint for hitting other players with their ball.
Coaching Points:
1 Players should not hide in dead space. They must show and call for the ball.
2 Before striking the pass, players should look up and check the target one more time.
3 When a route closes down, fake the pass and look for another option.
