Receive, Shield and Pass Drill
Goal: Teach players to create space, receive and shield under pressure.
Description: Spread five players around the perimeter of a 20-25 yard diameter circle with three balls. Two other players are inside the circle, one acting as an attacker and the other as the defender. The attacker moves to receive the ball. The attacker calls the name of one of the players with a ball on the perimeter. The player called sends the ball into the circle. The attacker controls the ball, shields the ball from the defender and passes the ball to a player on the perimeter who is standing without a ball. When the attacker is successful with getting the pass to a player without the ball, the attacker and the pass receiver change places with the pass receiver becoming the new attacker. When the defender gets the ball or knocks the ball out of the circle, the attacker and the defender switch places starting play all over again. The coach can choose to use more than one defender.
