Coaching Notes

Activity Instructions
This activity is coached by Seth
Nahas and focuses on a passing
pattern centrally to release a wide
player. The emphasis is on technical
detail of passing and receiving
players. Coaching points include firm
passes accurately placed to set up
the receiver for the next combination,
receiving players checking towards
the ball and finding 'half spaces'/
between the lines and maintaining a
game-like tempo and intensity. The
sticks represent defenders. Top -
#4, #6, #8 and #9 combine centrally
... drawing the defenders inside. A
penetrating pass wide releases #7
down the right wing to cross into
a target box for #9. Middle - the
routine continues with #6 checking
to a midpoint between the sticks to
receive a pass from #9. #6 turns
and passes to #4 to restart the
routine. Bottom - #7 checks inside
leaving space wide for #2 to make an
overlapping run.
