12x12 m square passing circuit focused on taking the first touch towards the next pass. Ideal for automating control with the far foot and fast ball circulation.
The centre-back plays a back pass and a striker presses the reception: the goalkeeper takes a directional touch and chooses between the free centre-back and the far full-back.
Technical work on the collapse dive for low balls close to the body, alternating sides with a quick recovery back into the set position.
A low, mid and high catching progression served by the coach to consolidate hand technique and getting the body behind the line of the ball.
