Description:
The "double clock" passing activity. All players are following their passes - Player 1 passes to 2 and runs into the center. Player 2 passes to 3 and switches with 1. Player 3 passes to 1, 1 passes to 4 and switches with 3. Note that there must be two players at the line where the ball starts.
Coaching Points:
-
Look for open body shape on central players in order to quickly switch the ball.
-
On checking away, player should connect quickly with the field in order to receive next ball.
-
Balls should be played to back foot.
Progression:
Adjust touch count. Have players switch with passer instead of following their pass. For simpler version, use one ball, one central player.
