Back
Check, Receive, Pass
Description
The athlete will start on the mannequin, on the coaches command they should check away and receive, then pass into the board before passing back to the coach.
Focus on the athlete’s first touch leading them into the direction of where they would like to play next.
You can progress the drill by asking the player to meet the ball and perform a reverse pass through the gap between the mannequin and the wall, back to the coach.
Key Coaching Points
- Can you receive with an open body position?
- Encourage the player to receive on their back foot, then pass with their front foot
- Consider the players' body & field position when receiving
