Emphasis:
Back passes

Set-up:
The server stands at the top of the penalty box with a group of balls.
The goalkeeper working is in goal and the other two are placed on the corners of the penalty box.

Objective:
The server passes the ball in to the goalkeeper.  He/she takes a preparation touch and passes it to player 1.  Player 1 takes a preparation touch and passes it back to the goalkeeper.  The goalkeeper takes a touch and passes it back to the server.  Repeat to the other side.  The ball is continuously in motion.

Progressions:

1. Everything is one touch.
2. The server plays a difficult ball for the goalkeeper to handle.
3. Have the targets go wider than the corner of the penalty box.

Coaching Points:

• The first touch needs to be out at an angle towards the target.
• Don’t prepare the ball across your body.
• Always use the inside of your foot for the first touch.
