Diagram 1

The Practice:

Passing through central areas (for nine players)

Setup:

Area size 25x15 with 5x5 squares setup as shown in the diagram one and 3 x 1.5m areas (shaded) for waiting players (Area size can be adjusted to suit players ability and needs)

Rules:

Players pass in the sequence shown in diagram one and follow their pass. Once the players are comfortable with the practice introduce a second ball from the start point. If a bad pass is made use one of the balls in any of the corners or just move onto the next position to keep the practice flowing.You are not allowed to have no more than one player in each square at any given time

Scoring:

One goal for every successful pass with the correct weight and accuracy, minus one goal for a bad pass and minus one goal for no communication when passing or receiving the ball. The scoring can be introduced once players are familiar with practice (coach is the judge)

Progression:

Add a second ball

Minimise the touches players have on the ball to speed up their thoughts and movement of the ball

Outcomes:

Weight and accuracy of pass to move the ball

Movement when receiving the ball

Body shape (hips and shoulder being open and side on so they can combine quickly)

Communication between players

Scanning (where is the next player I am going to pass to)

NOTES:

Ensure that the coach or team manager is the only person that touches the equipment and the equipment is cleaned at the end of the session
