Organization

Use two lines 15–20m apart with a support player offset centrally. Server drives into receiver, who cushions and plays to the support before rotating.

Coaching Points

Stay relaxed through the first touch | Cushion rather than stop dead | Keep the ball within one stride | Open the body early | Match pass weight to distance

Progressions

  • Vary service height between ground and knee level.

Regressions

  • Reduce distance and use softer passes.
