Passing Arrow (HFP) (15 mins)

Each progression should be a continous 7 minutes

Warmup is just a passing sequence, the first (A) is a pass to the point of the arrow, followed by a pass to either side of the arrow, that player then dribbles the ball to the base. The next pass then goes to the opposite side of where they just played through, Players just follow their pass to the next cone.

After the first block of 7 minutes do another block following the same sequence only this time the players may only use their non-dominant foot the entire time.

The progression ( B )is now the players start the same way by playing to the point of the arrow, but now the player works a 1-2 with either side of the arrow. Rotation is the same.

Focus on limiting the touches, try to aim for 2-3 touches max for this exercise, also focus on the final pass in the 1-2 not slowing down the players run make sure that the pass is forward and into space
