Rotations (5 mins)

Method : Central combinations and developing rotations.

 

Two active players in the middle. 

 

Players in the middle to work for 1 min before changing with outside. One player receives a ball from the outside player, who then sets to the other middle player, who plays to the player on the opposite side. 

Player receiving the ball drops deep into the pocket the far side of the outside player passing the ball

 

 Inside roles reverse after 1 minute - communication here is key

Coaching Points :

  • The ball should never stop dead in the middle, this means that the weight of pass must be good for the passing player to play out.
  • Scanning and awareness are key for both the setting player and player who plays out. Body positioning must be good
  • Energetic, composed and precise - weight of pass, timing, communication
