Moving off the ball

These are three level of practices for your players to learn to move into space to support the player on the ball or to receive the ball in space.

Moving off the ball into space to help the player on the ball for beginners
Example: Pass and Move
Players have to pass the ball around the outside of the square with only 3 players. To make this possible, the player after the pass has to move to the empty corner (any direction).Click here to see video.

Moving into the space to support the player on the ball for intermediate players
Example: Switch and Pass
Player 1 dribbles across the square forcing player 2 to switch in order to receive the square pass from 1. Then 2 starts etc (pass from right to left and then from left to right).Click here to see video.

Example: Creating Space to Receive the Ball
Moving to create space to receive the ball for advanced players
Description:

Player 3 runs into the channel. At the same time player 1 passes the ball to player 2. Player 3 has to time the run, so they can run out of the channel once player 2 is ready to pass the ball, not before. Again it is important that player 3 should not have to slow down to receive the ball, and should take the ball while continuing to run and shoot at goal.Click here to see video.
