3 Player Receiving

Incorporating open receiving with a 1 v 1 to finish.

Setup

You can set this up at any position on the field. Use 3 cones so the receive has to be on one side and move the ball to the other in a fluid movement before releasing the ball.

Objective & Coaching Points

Staying mobile on the receive and staying mobile as moving the ball around the cones to initiate a good pass. Working in for the 1 v 1.

Extension & Progression

You can extend this by making the passing distance bigger. Already have players waiting in the middle to make it a 2 v 2. You can also turn it into just a passing exercise or an exercise where you just finish with a shot.
