Diagonal Pass & Receive | Move, Decide, Link Up

Overview

• Built for players 10 and up (U11+)
• Great for players who need to sharpen their reads while receiving on the move
• A good fit for players who want to clean up how they open their body right after receiving

Objectives

• Players learn to receive the ball cleanly while on the move
• Builds the decision-making to snap the body around after receiving and get straight into the next play
• Sharpens the accuracy and weight of pass needed to hit a diagonal target ahead of them

Setup

Set up a 30m x 30m grid and run it with 9 players. Three players start on the outside with a ball, and the six in the middle run in to receive.

１）Place 3 players with a ball around the outside of the grid

２）The central players line up single file and run into the grid

３）The moment they receive, they take a quick touch one step to the left or right

４）Then they play a diagonal pass to another player inside the grid

５）The receiving player repeats the same actions

６）Keep it flowing for 3-4 minutes, rotating roles each new turn
