Setup

  1. A feeder with the balls at one cone, a line of players 6 m away.
  2. Two more cones mark where to pivot and where to pass to.

How it runs

  1. Player drives, catches the feed, lands one-two.
  2. Pivots on the landing foot to face the target cone and passes.
  3. Rejoins the line; feeder rotates every 6 goes.

Coaching points

  • Know which foot landed first: that's your pivot foot.
  • Bend the knees to land under control.
  • Pivot, then pass; eyes up to the target.

Common mistakes

  • Dragging the landing foot.
  • Landing stiff-legged and overbalancing.

Say it: “Land, pivot, pass.”

Make it harder

  • Land two feet together and choose the pivot.
  • Catch with a defender shadowing.

Make it easier

  • Walk into the catch.
  • Feeder hands the ball instead of passing.
