Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Stage 1.2

Receiving to Play Forward (15 mins)

Recieving to Play Foward (15 min)

Set Up: As seen in diagram (cones or poles can be used instead of mannaquins)

Play starts at A and B. Players pass in the arrowed direction and follow their pass. Players on the mannaquins start touch tight and check off the mannaquin to receive on the BACK foot. They then quickly pass in the arrowed direction, following their pass.

Try to have 3 balls moving at all times (start with 2)

Progression 1: Teach players to scan forward prior to receiving a pass.

Progression 2: At A and B players can play a double pass and wall pass with the receiver who then plays to the mannaquin. (not illustrated)

Progression 3: Players on mannquins choose to receive of the back foot/front foot, infront or behind the mannaquin.

Coaching Points:

1. Weight of pass.

2. Checking off the mannaquin.

3. Receive on the half turn on the back foot.

4. Scanning.
