Switch sides walk

How it works

  1. Pairs walk forward side by side and pass across.
  2. After every pass, the passer jogs round behind their partner to the other side.
  3. Now every second pass is on your other side. Speed up to a jog.

Coaching points

  • Both hands on the ball, both directions.
  • Swing across your body, fingers point at the target.
  • Slow and accurate on your weaker side first.

Ready for the next level when: Players pass cleanly on both sides at a jog.
