Basic Partner Passing

Partner Passing to encourage proper passing technique. Over time extend the distance, gradually getting to long drives on the ground and chips into the air (if the players are able to progress)

Fundamentals of passing:

- Bend your knees

- Hit the middle of the ball with the middle of your instep

- The middlle of the ball should line up with the middle of your planted foot

- Follow through

- Look down when you make contact with the ball

Fundamentals of receiving:

- DON'T USE THE SOLE OF YOUR SHOE (use the instead), its better for control and allows you to continue to move once you have the ball in your possession

- On your toes

- Go towards the ball

If the players are good enough, instead of passing in front of the cone. Players are now behind it, receiving the ball on the right side of the cone, moving the ball to the left then passing. Allowing players to have laterial movements as well.

- Control the ball slightly in front of you

Partner Skittles

Cones are a long enough distance where players should be putting the ball into the air.

The objective is to play the ball in the air to your partner, who has 1 touch to try to redirect the ball so it hits the ball on the cone.

The first pair to knock their ball over x amount of times wins.

Possession With Endzones

Each team will have 1 player in each of the endzones. These players can move where ever they like instead of their endzone.

Possession inside the biggest playing space, with the intent to go from one endzone to the other. Once a player passes the ball into the player within the endzone, those player switch players, so the player who just passed is now in the endzone and the payer who was in the endzone is now playing in the big square.

Coaching Points:

- If your target is open play them the ball (in the air or on the ground)

- Spread the field

- Body shape is open so you can see the whole field
