Fitness & Interception

Description of move

• Players work in 3's. 2 feeders and 1 worker
• W starts in the middle of the F's and passes the ball to to F1
• She follows the ball and tips the ball back to F1 whilst she is still in the air
• W then sprints to point X whilst F1 passes the ball to F2
• W then changes direction and sprints to intercept the pass from F2 to F1
• W then passes the ball to F1 and repeats the exercise

Coaching Points

• The most difficult pass is F1 to W when W attempts to tip the ball back whilst she is still in the air
• Younger players may find this difficult so get F and W to give a chest pass
• See which is the best way for W to turn when sprinting to X. You want her to keep her eye on the ball all the time
• Make sure W pushes off with the correct foot when she changes direction. This will depend which way out she goes, left or right
• You can decide how many repetitions your players perform, depending on their age and fitness
• Have W go out to her left and to her right
