Pass & Receive Complete Practices
The following are complete practices revolving around passing and receiving
Ron Alber, my daughter's trainer from her U10 team, showed me the basics of this exercise several years ago. Ron holds an Advanced National NSCAA diploma and a USSF A License.
Watt Keller, a coaching colleague of mine from Georgia, added the 1-2 give and go section to the drill and told me the name was the Quad Tris, a name which has stuck.
I added the next progression of a third man running off the ball and the defenders pressuring the player checking back.
All in all a cooperative coaching effort which has been requested at least a hundred times from various websites and the soccer-coach-l e-mail list.
Movement Off the Ball
The second practice is from Bo Wernersbach of Farmingdale (NY) College. It was demonstrated at the Suffolk County Soccer Coaches Association Winter Clinic.
