Walking passing square

How it works

  1. Set a 5m square. One player on each corner, the spare player in the middle.
  2. Players walk the ball around the square, passing to the next corner. Change direction on the coach's call.
  3. Then add a rule: the receiver must call a name or “here” before the ball is passed.

Coaching points

  • Hands up and out as a target before the ball comes.
  • Pass to where the receiver is going, not where they are.
  • Catch, then turn the eyes to the next player straight away.

Ready for the next level when: The ball goes round 10 times without a drop, in both directions.
