Lead the runner

How it works

1. A receiver jogs across in front of a passer standing still, 4–5 steps away.
2. The passer aims a cone's width in front of the receiver, so they run onto the ball.
3. Speed the receiver up. Then the passer jogs too.

Coaching points

• Pass to where they'll be, not where they are.
• Chest height, in front, so they don't break stride.
• Receiver: hands up early.

Ready for the next level when: Passes land in front of a jogging receiver at chest height nearly every time.
