Air control

Players in a 40 x 30 area as shown above with 3 balls on the outside.
  1. The coach chooses the player in the middle (A) who is going to receive the ball. The ball is passed to player A and he/she lays the ball off, one touch if possible, to player B. Player B passes to a player on the outside who has no ball.
Focus on:
  • Communication
  • First touch
  • Passing
  • Movement
  • Player receiving the lay off should be alert and adjust their body position so that the passer can see them.

Variations:

  • Vary the service into the middle player.
  • Add a defender.
