Technical Passing (bio-mechanics)

Objective: To have the ball EX. cover short-medium distance # with accuracy & proper pace. Descriptions:
#1) Ball standing: A pair stands square behind ball and alternate rx-lft pass movement at the same time. #2) 2 touch pass: A pair pass ball thru cones & trap-stop ball completely before passing back. #3) 1 touch pass: A pair pass ball thru cones. Variation: > distance

Organization & Coaching Points

2 cones: 2 player , 1 ball 5-10 yd. apart (#2-3) CP: Run up to the ball - short quick & vertical steps for better coordination and balance with bigger last step. Supporting foot - place next to the ball with the toes pointing toward the target, knee is slightly bent. Kicking leg - large & fast back-swing hips rotation 90 followed by a forward-swing with foot impacts the ball center-point continuing to direct the ball seek a prompt support after the kick, in preparation for the next action. Arms: elements of balance and protection, opposite kick-foot projected forward, corresponding arm moves backwards. Contact surface: triangle big toe-ankle bone-heel. Moment of the impact the ankle is locked (toes pointing upwards) Trunk: Covers the ball, allowing protection-balance & harmonious development of the kicking motion.

Technical Receiving (bio-mechanics)

EX. # Objective: Control & possession of the ball. Trap on Spot (remains stationery)-Trap with Direction (follow by a technical gesture) Descriptions:
#1) Receiving: Player time the pass and go over low high hurdle with opposite foot of the indented receiving foot. Keep ball front pass back (2 touch). Use inside-sole of the foot. #2) Receive with direction: same as above but now 1st touch has lateral (rx-lft) direction. Use inside-outside foot. #3) Receive ball in the air: same as above with 1st touch front-lateral (rx-lft). Use sole-insideoutside foot, thigh (rx-lft), chest.

Organization & Coaching Points

2 cones: 2 player , 1 ball 5-10 yd. apart CP: Fundamental Principles of Receiving Assessment of trajectory, distance, speed, surface, place of contact (meet the ball) quickly anticipate opponent. Keep eyes to the ball until the impact. Receiving limb - starts to move-retreat the balls trajectoryimpact, surface relax, soft. Toes Point to the direction of the objective Body Balance with help of the arms, correct angle for next action-move to have broad vision of the field. Arms - slightly forward-wider balance-defense of the ball. Trap with direction - preceded by a fake-counter move (often)

Technical Types of Receiving

Trap with the sole of the foot
Low ground ball: Tip directed upwards, heel slightly off the ground. Ankle-knee-hip & thigh muscles relax. Support foot slight jump back. Ball with trajectory in the air: Ankle must be relax, to cushion the bounce of the ball off the foot, knees slightly bent no bodys weight for good balance.

Trap with inside of the foot

Ball incoming on the ground & front trajectory: Receiving leg must be behind leaning foot flexed, forward momentum first to meet ball, then starts return path at ball contact. Hip rotated outward 90 angle with the balls trajectory. Support leg flex, toes slightly outward, slight bounce before impact to amortize the ball. Ball incoming on the ground & lateral trajectory: Amortize with foot opposite of balls direction. Body slightly bent toward the balls direction muscles relax. Ball incoming with air trajectory: Receiving foot-hip rotate outward, relax, form 90 angle with leaning foot. Body moves back in to the path of the ball trajectory, low center of gravity & position in direction next move (off pressure). Knee must cover the ball. Opposite limb positions near point of ball touches ground for good balance.

Trap with the ouside of the foot

Ground ball incoming: Receiving leg must be in front move toward to meet the ball , but return back in to the trajectory path at moment of contact. Body bent toward balls direction to anticipate next action-move. Ball incoming with air & curve trajectory: Receiving leg crosses front supporting leg with foot turned slightly inward. Outside foot, at the moment of receiving, it accompanies the ball in the opposite direction by crossing back the leg in front of the body.

Trap with chest

Ball incoming with parabolic air trajectory: Legs slightly apart for good balance, trunk square towards trajectory of the ball, projecting chest forward & upward, arching the torso. Contact with the ball, the rib cage must be relaxed and empty, the chest facing the desired direction (next move) and retracts to amortize the trajectory. The ball must bounce back near the body & in front for immediate control for next directional move. The damping action of the ball is facilitated by bending the knees. Arms should be open position forward to promote the protection.

Pass 2 touch: Pass with rx. foot Receive with lft. foot. Pass & Receive with outside of the foot. 1st touch directional Change feet. Variation: Use 2 ball same time. Juggling( more touches) Pass 1 touch: 3 players pass-receive in the center & pass to player in front. Variation: different ball size.

5-10 yd. apart CP: see tech. bio-mechanics passing & receiving ground front inside-outside foot.
10-15 yd. CP: quickly meet ball, angle of body in direction of pass. See tech. bio-mechanics of passing inside foot.

Tech.-Tact. 1-2 touch Pass & Receive: Player with 2 touch (clock-wise or counter-clock wise) pass across to far player-pass to & receive back 1 touch from middle player. Then repeat (clock wise or counter-clock wise)across pass to far player. All passer have a defender behind (passive or active)

10-15 yd. CP: counter move before receiving ball, proper angle of body, 1st touch off pressure. See tech. biomechanics of passing inside foot & receiving inside outside foot.
