The goal of this exercise is to learn to look ahead when floating. In addition, you train your ability to react.
Set up
The players line up on, for example, the back line.
The trainer stands 10-15 metres away from the players.
At an agreed signal, the players start drifting towards an imaginary line at your height.
But in the meantime, they have to look in front of them, because you raise a certain number of fingers and the players have to say that number.
To make this exercise more difficult, you can ask the players to make a passing move on an agreed signal, or you can make the distance bigger, or the players have to walk instead of saying the number, to a point which corresponds with the number.
