Exercise without purpose
Basic techniques -> Push pass out of the run.
- The trainer makes 3-pairs -if you can't work out the numbers of 4-pairs-; 2 players on one side of the playing field, 1 on the other side.
- The side of the pair always starts with the ball.
- Player 1 starts by floating to the other side.
- Halfway across the playing field he gives a push pass to player 2 on the opposite side.
- Player 2 takes the ball and does the same as Player 1 and gives the ball with a push pass to Player 3 etc.
- The player who passed the ball first runs on to Player 2's spot, Player 2 to Player 3's spot etc.
Points of attention:
- Drive the ball well in front of your body -i.e. not next to it or behind it- -> Look well over the ball.
- Drive the ball well outside with your left elbow.
- The exercise must be performed technically well before you can increase speed.
