Extended  Technique Drill                       


Coaching Points:  

Divide the entire group into pairs. Two players using one ball. Players work in an area approximately 10 yards x 10 yards or 9 metres x 9 metres.

Working in pairs, one player is the receiver and the other player (the server) standing. The standing player serves the ball and the receiving player plays it back to the server (using the outside of the foot only). The ball is served in at a variety of angles angles and height. This challenges the receiving player to their range of flexibility and technical skills. Perform 20 repetitions and exchange roles. Repeat 3 times.
