The Rebound Game

To enhance quick, incisive passing, forward progression, combination play, and readiness for rebounds and second-phase opportunities.

• Emphasise rapid, but controlled passing sequences—speed and accuracy are equally important. • Keep an open body position when receiving • Use the goalkeeper as an extra player • Once you have met the passing number requirement, look deep and pass/strike forward if you can. • Encourage clear communication among teammates, especially when moving forward. • Reinforce the importance of timing runs into the attacking zone. • Promote positional awareness to capitalise on rebounds and loose balls. • Striker must quickly close passing lanes and apply pressure to disrupt the build-up. • Goalkeepers should communicate clearly with defenders. • Rotate roles regularly to ensure all players experience attacking, supporting, and defending responsibilities.
