Coaching Outline
Coach Gina O'Neil Technical session on passing and receiving the ball
The size of the grid is dictated by the number of players involved and / or the type of passes
looking to be made; i.e. the smaller the grid, the shorter the passes. The larger the grid, the
longer the passes.
Perimeter players should be active on the sideline so as to best position themselves to receive
the ball.
Begin with one group passing and the other on the perimeter receiving, then switch.
Next, when the passing player passes the ball, they become the perimeter player and the
receiving player enters the grid.
Depending on the ability of the players, a one touch restriction can be placed on the perimeter
players.
Players in their own half of the grid pass the
balls (2). Another ball can be added to
heighten pressure and speed of play.
Players are first allowed to pass and receive in
the entire space, still restricted to passing
amongst their own colors. Next, add defenders
to apply pressure. If the defenders win the ball,
they are to look to pass to their respective
defensive teammate.
Passing combinations should be outlined by the coach, e.g. wall passes, double passes...
The weight of passes is key.
Passes made with the inside of the foot should have the foot locked in the letter "L".
Passing the ball with the inside of the foot as well as the outside of the foot is to be encouraged and used when appropriate.
Note various methods by which the ball can be received, e.g. inside of the foot bringing the ball across one's body, receiving it with the outside of the
foot away from one's body, let the ball go between one's legs, turn, and go, and soft touch in varying directions.
The addition of the defenders will now dictate the type of pass, when, and where. The receipt of the ball is dictated by the defensive presence / pressure.
