Player executes a 1v1 attacking move at 2nd cone
Player plays pass against rebounder net and adjusts body to play a 1st time pass through the target gate
Key Coaching Points
Body shape side on to retrieve ball, get ball out from feet to run with ball at pace
Keep ball one step away to run at pace and maintain control
Change of pace/direction to execute 1v1 attacking move at 2nd cone
Quality passing: “Punch” ball into rebounder net to generate good pace on the ball and be aware of angle wish to receive ball at
Open body up to play 1st time pass through one of the target gates
Progressions
Work on both sides – alternative between playing right footed pass and left footed pass through target gates
Receive ball back, open body up and take one touch before playing pass through a target gate
Set additional guidelines for receiving ie take 1st touch on outside of foot
Turn rebounder net around and practice receiving balls in the air
