Transferring around the back to go forward (20 min)

This drill is designed to practice swinging the ball around the back with accuracy & speed, receiving on the move, and going forward together 

  • 4 players on each side swing the ball around the back continuously using push passes or sweeps 
  • The Center two players must receive across their body
  • The Outside two players must receive across their body starting at the inside cone, dribble to the outside cone as if going forward, pull back and pass back to the Center Player 
  • Players continue to pass the ball from side to side until the coach yells Go
  • When the coach yells Go, Red Players must make at least 3 passes between the team as they go forward to score on the goal
  • At the same time, Blue Players must make at least 3 passes between the team as they go forward to dribble or pass to another player through the orange gates

Notes:

- Coaches should allow the teams to continuously pass around the back until they have a rhythm (3-4x back and forth) before yelling Go

- If a ball is mistrapped or mishit, players should quickly grab a new ball from the sides and restart

- Encourage the players to receive across their body. If the ball is coming from the left, they must receive at their right foot. If the ball is coming from the right, they should receive at their right foot with their feet facing forward

- IF THIS IS TOO DIFFICULT OR IF THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH PLAYERS, just use the 4 red players and go towards goal 

- As they Go forward, encourage them to get their eyes up, pass on the move, and accelerate to space

Jab - 1v1 possession (15 min) (15 mins)

Part 1 (5 min):

Partner up players. Using a line and 2 cones, have A move laterally with ball while B tries to jab. Provide feedback/keys to a successful jab.

Part 2 (10 min):

A starts with the ball in the center of the grid. B starts in forehand engaging distance in front of A.

A moves the ball anywhere within the grid, changing directions laterally and vertically, trying to gain separation from B.

B moves with A, trying to maintain the same engaging distance, without getting too close to the ball (within 1m) or too far away (more than 3m). B may throw jab tackles. If they win the ball, they give the ball back.

Continue for 45 seconds, then both players exit grid. At this point, C and D come into the centre of the grid and begin the same movements.

The next time through, players switch roles (B is the attacker, A is the defender).
