The balls start with players at corners opposite each other. The second ball adds pressure and speeds up play. The coach should focus almost totally on the back foot reception. First the player as to adjust his position to receive the ball across his body and with his back foot. The first touch must be to space, away from the reception touch and certainly in the direction of the next receiver.
Variation Let the players switch the direction on their own, as quickly as possible.
Tighten the distance and play as quick as possible. Player 1 plays to player 3 who is diagonal to 1. The balls should be played one touch if possible. Coaching points If done correctly, the second ball is being passed to an adjacent player as the first ball is going diagonal. The second ball should put the passer under pressure to get his pass off, before the next pass arrives.
