Warm up: Pass & Rotate Circle

Warm up: Pass & Rotate Circle: - Do they see the next action? Created via @SportSessionPlanner Organisation • One cone or small central area in the middle • Circle approx. 20 yards wide • Players evenly spaced around the outside • 1 ball in play Set up: • One player starts centrally • Remaining players positioned around the outside edge Objective: ⇢ Develop passing accuracy, movement timing, and receiving on the move. Practice: • Central player receives a pass from outside. • Central player passes to a new outside player. • Central player rejoins the outside circle. • The outside passer becomes the new central player. • Pattern continues around the circle. Progression 1: Increase Passing Distance ⇢ Expand the circle size. Forces: • Firmer passing • Greater receiving preparation • Longer passing mechanics Progression 2: Reduce Space ⇢ Shrink the circle. Creates: • Faster tempo • Less time to receive • Increased scanning demand Progression 3: One-Touch Challenge ⇢ Central player attempts: • One-touch set • Or directional first touch before release • Participation Adaptation To avoid waiting: • Duplicate circles • Use smaller groups • Add additional balls for advanced groups Gamified Scoring (Optional) • Team challenge: • Consecutive passes without error • Time challenge for successful rotations Teaching the “Why” Read the Picture ⇢ “Where is the next pass before the ball arrives?” Purpose in the Action ⇢ “Does your pass help the next player?” Change the Rhythm ⇢ “When do you slow to receive?” ⇢ “When do you speed the tempo up?” View session via @SportSessionPlanner https://lnk2ssp.com/s/i1faj/i/IoxO/Passing-and-Receiving.html Website: https://www.thesportingresource.co.uk/
