Coaching Points
• Develops passing accuracy, weight and speed.
• Challenges control, with players looking to receive on the back foot for some parts, or soft set the ball in others.
• Tests movement off the ball, including double movements for space. Can players time their movement in coordination with when the passer looks up?
• Encourages players to position their bodies effectively so the passer knows how and where they want to receive the pass.
• Challenges concentration, scanning and awareness as players have to continually monitor the positions and movements of the two balls.
• Also works the physical conditioning of the players too with dynamic movements and changes in pace.
