8 cones are set out as shown. The ball is at the startcone. One player per cone. 4 groups, each with a ball.
(1) Group 1
(2) Group 2
(3) Group 3
(4) Group 4
Process
All 4 groups start at the smae time and make the same runs.
Example Group I:
A plays a one-two with B and then plays a long ball in the air to player A in group II. At the same time group II does the same and player A from this group hits the long ball to his counterpart in group I.
Groups III + IV complete the same series of passes in their groups. After each long ball the two player within the group swap positions at a sprint.
Tip
8 cones, Start by running the drill slowly and then speed up. The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from or to the side of the ball before receiving the ball.
- Demand good pass precision but also focus on clean lay off before the long balls so that these balls can be played one-touch.
- Pass precision is more important than pass speed.-
- Concentration must be held at all times.
- This drill requires high technical ability under time pressure
- The players should permamnently communicate with one another.
- Make sure that the balls don't hit each other and that the runs are simultaneous.
