V Pushes Develop Players Close Control Of The Ball To Be Able To Change Direction In Tight Areas & When Under Pressure

KEY COACHING POINTS

Focus on the correct technique

Practice with both feet

Increase speed as you master the technique

SET UP

Set up 2 cones 10m apart. Player starts at cone 1 with ball and begins performing skill to cone 2. When player reaches cone 2, they turn & repeat the skill back to cone 1. Repeat. (If you don't have cones any object will do)

PROGRESSIONS

2. Players challenged to perform skill whilst on the move
