Exercise to improve receiving:
1. Orange passes the ball through blue channel.
2. Coach calls a color. Blue passes through this channel.
3. Coach calls a second color. Orange passes through the appropriate channel.
4. Blue shoots on goal.

Each player has a maximum of 2 touches for an action available (1 for receiving + 1 for passing). Therefore, the player must move the ball with the receiving directly in front of the right channel.
