Move, stop, pass

Setup & sequence

A feeds to either side of B; C is a separate target. One ball.

1. B starts at the middle marker while A signals a side.
2. B steps behind the gentle feed and settles the platform.
3. B passes towards C and returns to the middle after the catch.

Before you start

A controlled forearm pass from a predictable feed.

2–4 players per station. With four, the player without a ball observes one cue or rehearses footwork in clear space; rotate every five attempts. For 12 players: three groups of four, provided lanes remain separated.

Starting dose

10 feeds to each side, swapping roles every 5.

Observe & correct

Cue: Use the feet to arrive; keep the contact available in front.

Error → correction: B reaches sideways while off balance: signal earlier and shorten the move.

Observable outcome: Compare playable passes on the left and right without ranking players.

Adapt to the group

Easier: Use the same side for five feeds.

Harder: Alternate sides without announcing the next one.

Alternative setup: A can catch the return when only two players are available.
