How it's set up
This simple technical practice focuses on developing players passing and receiving. We setup by placing three mannequins & cones as shown in the session image. To begin, the coach will pass to the 1st player (8) who pulls off the first mannequin to receive the pass. They will then pass forward to (10) who pulls of the 2nd mannequin to receive, takes a directional 1st touch around the mannequin and drives forward before passing to the coach. This sequence is then repeated from the opposite side, with the 2 players changing roles.
Key coaching points
- Open body shape to receive - faster to turn & play out
- Passing weight and accuracy
- Short sharp movements off the mannequin to receive - game realism
