Newcastle Receiving & Playing Forwards
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 6 | Pitch size: 1/2 Pitch
This technical drill focuses on developing precise 1-2 passing combinations to create forward momentum and scoring opportunities. Players work in pairs to practice quick, sharp passes where the first player passes to a teammate, immediately makes a forward run to receive the return pass, and then plays a forward pass into a mini goal. The emphasis is on timing, accuracy, and communication to ensure smooth interplay and effective penetration through the defensive line.
Players must maintain proper body positioning to receive the ball on their front foot, enabling a clean first touch and controlled forward pass. The drill enhances quick decision-making, ball control under pressure, and passing accuracy, essential for building fluid attacking sequences in match situations.
• Encourage crisp, well-weighted passes throughout the 1-2 combination – Players must execute passes with the correct pace and accuracy to maintain rhythm.
• Emphasize sharp, timed runs immediately after the initial pass – Off-the-ball movement is crucial for receiving the return pass in optimal positions.
• Reinforce quality first touches towards the direction of play – Players should control the ball quickly and prepare to play forward passes effectively.
• Focus on accurate, penetrating passes into the mini goal – Final passes must be decisive, with good weight and direction to simulate realistic scoring opportunities.
