Playing Between the Lines

What you will learn

Find pockets of space before receiving. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Warm up gently with easy touches in a clear playing space.
2. Mark two imaginary defensive lines with cones.
3. Move between them, glance over your shoulder and show an easy passing angle.
4. Notice how your body orientation affects the next action.
5. Repeat a few controlled passes or touches, then try a new angle when comfortable.

Coaching tips

• Keep moving to offer a clear lane.
• Look up between touches and give teammates enough space.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
