Objective:
Players (A) and (B) must receive passes from the outside players and play a one-touch pass to any of the two outside players that they are facing.  (A) and (B) continually rotate and receive passes from the opposite side of the grid each time.  The outside players must pass the ball back and forth as they wait for the center players to travel across the grid.  Switch the central players after approximately 45-60 seconds.

Progressions:

(1) Reduce the size of the grid to encourage a higher tempo – more touches / less running.

Coaching Points:

  • Accuracy and correct weight of pass is vital.
  • Players must change speeds after each pass to quickly receive the next pass.
  • Communication between players is vital.
