Set Up
Put players in groups all around the field, and they should be about 10-15 yards apart. The players are going to pass the back back and forth staying in their general area. Some key points about the drill:
- The Player receiving the ball should be receiving the ball loaded
- Once they catch the ball, the player should take 2 steps toward their player making the pass
They will continue this for 1-2 minutes and then have them switch hands
Principles and Coaching Points
- Catch loaded, we want to catch the ball being a threat in the open field
- Step to your teammate when making the pass
- Passes should be nice and crisp, we don’t want lobs or soft passes
Progressions
- have player move further apart for added difficulty or closer together for less difficulty
- Add a 3rd player in like a Triangle
