Passing & Receiving (15 mins)

Technical Warm-up cont.: Passing & Receiving

A. Passing & Receiving: Grid: 30x20; 9 players in grid, 4 balls

i. Payers pass ball to open player and then go and find someone else. (address coaching points in between variations)

ii. Focus on passing into space, rather than to feet or Use wall-pass.

iii. Player decides whether to pass to feet, to space, wall-passes or use 'overs'.

Coaching points: scan (should know who you are passing to before you receive it), communicate to person you're passing to with verbal and non-verbal cues (don't think that they can just call a name and expect them to be open if they haven't looked up; players who miss it pass or don't call name ) knees bent, arms out away from body,

*hips open and receive ball across body, checking to the player with the ball, hands open showing to feet, eye contact with the player, etc.
