Set-up

Activity
- looking at the receiver, looking at the ball
- bent knee, swinging from the hip
- the non-kicking foot beside the ball
- well ‘weighted’ pass
- ‘attacking’ the ball
You could ask …
How will you control the ball when you receive the pass from Player 2? When receiving the pass from Player 2, where are you looking?
Variations
Add defence: Introduce a fifth player in the centre as a defender who challenges each player as they start. Start with passive defence, then change to more active defence (trying to steal the ball).
