To improve use of the aerial or scoop pass to create an outstanding reception. Also to improve scooping and receiving skills for both players involved.
Defender makes a pass to the attacker.
The attacker returns a simple pass to the defender, turns and heads upfield. The attacker cuts either left or right, then turns back and sprints to the space created on the opposite side. The defender watches the attacker's initial run and scoops the ball into the open space. The attacker receives the ball on the run, controls and moves upfield. When you watch the attacker's initial run, maintain a low body position so you are ready to release the scoop instantly.
