- Targets only have one touch

Game #2: Target cannot play the player they received from

Coaching Points: How can we speed the play up? (Answer: scan the field to know what to do before receiving the ball, limit your touches, take touch to where you want to go, hips open to field & receive ball across body) What must offensive team do when ball is played into target (game #2)? be an option and support! How can we connect more passes?
