Scan and pass

How it works

  1. Four receivers stand on cones in a square. Two of them have a “marker” standing next to them. No touching.
  2. The passer in the middle looks up, finds a receiver with no marker and passes to them.
  3. Markers move to a new receiver after every pass. Rotate roles every minute.

Coaching points

  • Eyes up before you pass. Look, then pass.
  • Free player: call the passer's name.
  • Speed comes later. A good choice first.

Ready for the next level when: Passers pick the free receiver almost every time without being told.
