Set-up
Whole squad in a large circle, one ball, one-touch passing around and across. Light tempo, stretch between passes. Coaches give one collective point about what they saw in the SSG.
Coaching points
- Accuracy over pace — hit the target first touch
- Communication: call for the ball before it comes
- One positive, one to fix — coach keeps it brief
Progressions
- Add a second ball to increase cognitive load slightly
- Introduce directional rule: pass must travel forward before going sideways
