Pass Into Space Flow Drill

EXPLANATION:

• FLOW DRILL: after each pass, player follows pass to the next station.
• The first player at the starting point plays a give-and-go with the Coach (C), receiving a through pass on the move.  He then turns with the ball and makes a lead pass to the next player arcing to the outside of the field.
• At each station, player leads from cone into space to receive ball on the move and look to next station.
• Ball pattern finishes with a shot on goal.
• *set up mirrored patterns on both sides of field to maximize space and numbers. 

COACHING POINTS:

• Focus on communication between passer and receiver at each station so that timing of the pass and off-ball movement is good.
• The pace of the pass should be appropriate so that ball arrives in the path of the receiver without forcing him to slow down. 

EVALUATION:

• When peformed well, the ball and player movement should be fluid.
• Players at each station should only be in possession of the ball for a very short time.
• Speed of ball movement should be as high as possible, and play should accelerate when possible at each station towards the next. 

PROGRESSION:

• LTT: Same - use smaller space.
• TTC & TTW: Add passing variations: Reverse Stick Passing, Lifted passes (over flat sticks).
