Passing Practice

Set Up



  • Area set up about 25 metres by 10 metres.
  • Area divided into two halves.
  • Players line up in four groups; two at each end.
  • Two players positioned in the middle of the area
Description



  • The two players in the middle need to position themselves as 'one high' and 'one low'.
  • The practice starts with an player A with the ball being played into the 'low' player.
  • The 'low' player bounces out to player B on the outside.
  • The player B passes the ball to the 'high' player; who bounces to the 'low' player who has spun to support underneath.
  • The 'low' player then weights a pass for player A to receive whilst moving.  
  • Player A and B follow their pass to the opposite end.
  • The pattern resets are the opposite end.
  • Rotate players in the middle after a couple of minutes.

Coaching Points




  • Body shape - players need to be 'open' and able to see where they are receiving from and passing to.
  • Can they play in one touch when setting?
  • Players in the middle need to ensure they are checking to the space to receive.
  • Timing of runs is extremely important - no square passes!!! All passes must be diagonal.

Positioning Game

Octagon Rondo


Set Up


  • Octagon shape area approx. 25-30m by 15m
  • Players positioned as a 3 & 4 at one end and 9 at the other. Three middle players are 6/8/10.
  • Neutral bouncers on the sides to act as Fullbacks.
  • Can add additional neutral in the middle if numbers are uneven.
  • Neutral players are always on the team in possession



Description


  • Ball always starts with a 3 or 4.
  • First pass in cannot be directly to bouncers but bouncers can pass to the 9.
  • Team in possession must look to transition the ball from their 3 and 4 to the 9 at the opposite end.
  • If successful in this, the team receives a point.
  • If a team gets a point they restart with the ball at their end.




Coaching Points


Same technical elements as the previous practice as below, but can we look to coach the combinations from the previous practice. I.e midfield starts high, one drops to bounce out the other side and then looks to play to a higher line with support underneath.


  • Body shape - players need to be 'open' and able to see where they are receiving from and passing to.
  • Can they play in one touch when setting?
  • Players in the middle need to ensure they are checking to the space to receive.
  • Timing of runs is extremely important - no square passes!!! All passes must be diagonal.
