Back-Foot Boulevard

Obj: Open-body receiving on the back foot as the default reception — the boulevard is the lane behind the front foot. Field: 20×15yd; three lanes marked. Equip: Cones, balls. Org: Trios: server → receiver (middle lane, side-on) → target. Receiver takes every ball with the far foot, touch opening toward the target, then plays on. Rotate. Round 3: receiver starts in the wrong stance deliberately and must adjust feet as the ball travels (the correction rep). Round 4: passive marker behind. CP: (1) Arrive side-on before the ball ("show your numbers to one, your chest to the other"); (2) contact with the back foot's inside, touch across the body; (3) the touch travels 1–2yd toward the target — never dead under you. Prog: Live marker; one-touch option when marker jumps; double-scan requirement counted aloud. Reg: Walking tempo; coach hand-feeds. Mist: P: receiving square then pivoting (two actions); C: accepting front-foot receptions when tired — the standard is the standard. Time: 12 min. Out: Back-foot reception automatic; A-20/TL-A-33 readiness. Var: Boulevard game: 4v4 where back-foot receptions that lead to a forward pass score. Diag: Three-lane strip, server-receiver-target line, body-orientation icons showing open hips.
