Objective:

• To develop good passing and receiving skills and to build awareness and vision.

Organization

• Split group into two (does not matter if numbers are odd).
• Depending on numbers mark 25 x 25-yard square.
• Half of the group in the square; half spread evenly on the outside.
• All players on the inside have a ball.
• Inside players play a One-Two with an outside player.
• Must then find another outside player to pass to other than the one they just received the pass from.
• After one minute outside players change with the inside players.

Teaching

• Encourage players with the ball to look around to see who is available on the outside.
• Players must play an accurate pass with good pace to enable the outside players to “wall” the return pass first time.
• Encourage the outside “wall” player to play the return pass into the space the One-Two passer is moving into.
• Tell players to continually be looking up and around to avoid two players both playing to an outside player at the same time (10 Push Ups for non-awareness!).
• When they play the One-Two they should do so at speed (in the game the One-Two usually gets the player in behind a defender).
• Encourage players on the outside without a ball to call for it with a specific name…”Kenny! Here!”

Target:

• To pass accurately and incisively.
