Inside Out - Chipping
Objective:
-
To develop chip passing.
-
To develop the receiving of balls in the air.
​
Target:
-
To learn how to chip balls and develop good controlling skills when receiving aerial balls.

Organization
-
Split group into two (does not matter if numbers are odd).
-
Depending on numbers mark a 25 x 25-yard square.
-
Half of the group in the square; half spread evenly on the outside.
-
All players on the inside have a ball.
-
Inside players must play a chipped (lofted) pass ideally into the hands of an outside player.
-
Must then find another outside player to receive a throw-in pass to be controlled by chest, thigh or foot.
-
After one minute or so outside players change with the inside players.
Teaching
-
Encourage players with the ball to look around to see who is available on the outside.
-
Players must play an accurate chip pass by stubbing the foot under the ball.
-
After chipping the ball player turns away to see who on the outside has a ball in the hands and then demands the throw-in ("David! Yes!).
-
Insist on a "correct" throw-in and tell the outside players not to throw the ball in if the inside player comes too close.
-
Perhaps restrict one session to left foot only.
