Open receiving & face the play

Open receiving & face the play is the focus of our next session. Pholo will be building a 90 minute practice for your team focussed on the skills open receiving. At least that was the goal, but on the day we just started talking about open receiving in general and less about about he practice session.

So we were live on Friday April 22. We went live at 13h CEST in Europe, which would be 7am EST for the US & Canada, 9h in Buenos Aires, 12h in the UK, 14h in most of Africa, 17:30h in India or 20h AWST in Perth, Australia.
As usual if you joined us live it’s free, if you want to watch it afterwards on demand, you need to be a member.

We’ll host a live session design session every two weeks. Alternating between a session by Coach Pholo and one by a coach of the Sport101 organisation from the UK. Anyway, we hope you can join us live and if not you find value in the shared knowledge from our on demand content here.
