Set Up:
30 yard circle with two players in blue working. Four pairs of players on the outside, two pairs start with a ball. Two colours are called, and the blue players go to ball, receive, turn and pass to the player on the same team. After 30 seconds, a new pair switches into the center. The drill progresses in difficulty by varying the service (air ball, high speed, bouncing, etc.)
Challenges/Topics:
Accuracy of pass.
Receive and turn well.
Intensity of run to receive.
Coaching Points:
1. Passing - Put the ball on the correct foot, so that the receiver can turn easily.
2. Turning - Get your feet set early so that you can make a quick turn towards your target.
3. Speed of Play - Sprint to the ball and practice receiving and turning at game speed.
