Part 1. Warmup - L Shape passing

6:36 Member content

As always start the session with a warm up with the ball in hand.
The L-shape passing drill is a good way to prime your players for this attack based session.
It gets the players moving into different lines in attack and defense.
Black Ferns assistant coach Wesley Clarke presents this drill very well focusing on the skill elements being developed.
Also any of Mils Muliana’s or Brendon’s Catch and Pass drills are fine to warm up with as well.

Course reviews

Nice drill. I wonder how far should the U14 players stay between them to have enough space for the attackers? 5 meters? More? thanks

Luciano Capponi — Switzerland

Being analytical on the run is an excellent way to train the eye. ESP where you don’t have a high-performance staff to relay a pond

Fred Moe — Australia

Another excellent video. Will be trying the L pass exercises tonight for the first time

Mark Manderson — USA

Excellent excersise the L attack
