Bounce Pass and Switch

Practice bouncing a pass, switching play with limited touches, and attacking with realism and end product

• Players work in groups of three at two mirrored stations • Player 2 plays into Player 1 • Player 1 bounces the ball back to Player 2 with a one or two-touch maximum • Player 2 then switches the ball across to Player 3 • Player 3 drives forward and attacks the cone or pole 1v1 as if it were a defender, aiming to score in the mini goal • Players rotate 1 → 2 → 3, and swap sides after the finish • On progression, both sides go at the same time. The first player to score immediately sprints across to defend against the other Player 3 • Players must go simultaneously to create urgency, pressure, and the need for quick decision-making
