Bounce Pass Under Contact — Protect, Set, Reconnect
A contact-based combination where the target player receives with a defender tight behind, protects the line of the pass and sets the ball to a supporting teammate before spinning away.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Set a passer 10m from a target player with a support player at a diagonal angle. A defender begins touch-tight behind the target. The passer plays into feet; the target uses body position to protect and sets to support. The target then moves away to create the next option.
Coaching Points
Feel the defender before the ball arrives | Receive on the safe side | Use body position rather than arms to protect | Set the ball at a playable angle | Move immediately after the set
Progressions
- Allow the defender to step around and intercept if the target's body position is poor.
Regressions
- Use passive rear pressure and allow the target two touches before setting.
