One-Touch Around the Corner — Set Across Defender, Continue Forward
A tight combination practice with a defender screening the direct lane. The receiver uses one touch to play around the defender rather than returning the ball along the same line.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Use a 16x12m area with a server, target receiver, support player and one defender. The server finds the target, who sets one touch around either side of the defender to a support player positioned on a different line. The support player then plays forward into an end gate or target.
Coaching Points
Target checks defender position before the pass arrives | Set across the defender rather than back toward the server | Support player arrives outside the defender's reach | One-touch angle must suit the next forward pass | Move again after the set to remain connected
Progressions
- Make the defender fully active and allow interception of the set.
Regressions
- Use passive pressure and widen the support angle.
