Reverse-Body Pass — Open Left, Play Right
A passing exercise where the receiver opens the hips toward one side but releases the ball through the opposite lane, forcing better scanning and deception.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Create a central receiving station with two target gates positioned diagonally left and right. The incoming passer serves centrally. The receiver scans, opens toward one gate and then plays through the opposite gate with the appropriate surface.
Coaching Points
Scan both options early | Sell the first direction with hips and eyes | Keep the ball close enough to change decision | Use the correct foot for the reverse pass | Do not over-rotate before contact
Progressions
- Add a passive defender who reacts to the receiver's body shape and can block one lane.
Regressions
- Predetermine the fake direction and allow one preparation touch.
