    RECEIVE & QUICK PLAY FOOTBALL DRILL

    Receive & Quick Play Football Drill  - Aged 10+

    This receive & quick play football drill has been donated by qualified Football Coach Matthew Kirckwood. We thank Matthew and recommend his coaching and website.


    Session Difficulty: Medium

    Receive & quick play football drill is working on developing the players technically to receive the ball on both feet, and to play accurately and quickly off two touches. I have varying beliefs as to limit young players touches, as we should be telling them don't rush with only two touches if you have more time however I do believe that if we limit touches, it makes them concentrate more, and therefore become quicker.

    Information


    - The aim of this session is to develop the players ability to receive on the back foot which will ultimately make them play quicker, and more effectively.

    - Set two cones 10 yard's apart, then the third cone in the middle of the two cones 15 yards away to make a triangle.

    - Two players on each cones, with one player in the middle.

    - Both groups go at the same time.

    - Player A feed the ball, at pace into the middle player.

    - The middle player is the one working, as he should receive on his back foot, and immediately play to the opposite group.

    - As soon as player A passes, he then sprints to the opposite group, working on movement and change of pace.

    - The ball keeps transferring through the middle player.

    - Work for two minutes then swap over.


    Coaching Points

    - Players must give a good, firm pass into player in the middle - Accuracy and pace is key to a successful session.

    - Ensure effective communication is given on the pass.

    - Middle player quick look over the shoulder to see his position.

    - Receive on the back feet, and play with the opposite foot to make the move quick.

    - Communicate with second group to were the ball is to be received i.e. left side.

    - Look at body shape when receiving?

    - Is the ball bouncing off his foot? Needs to cushion the ball.

    - Movement when receiving the ball i.e. turn away, then come in quick to receive instead of straight line running.


    Progressions

    - Increase time in the middle to work on cardio

    - As soon as you play, sprint to the opposite group

    - As soon as you play, you follow your pass.
