Set up a box 30 x 25m. 12 players take up their place in the box and each player has a number from 1 - 12.
Players 1 and 7 take up their start positions and each has a ball. They pass the ball to the player with the next highest number. I.e. Player 1 passes to 2, 2 passes to 3, 3 passes to 4 etc. At the same time player 7 passes to 8, 8 passes to 9 etc. At the start of the drill each player has at least 2 touches (not one touch). As the drill progresses the drill can be done with one touch. Alternative: - Players 1, 5 and 9 each start with a ball (in total 3 balls) - The number of players and balls is variable. However the level of difficulty varies accordingly. There are a several ways to pass the ball: - with the instep - with the 'laces' - with the outstep - with the ball of the foot - the banana shot (a pass with lots of swerve)
4 cones, - Precise, exact passing is extremely important for successful soccer. As a result passing should be regularly practised. It is important not to forget to correct mistakes and give correct demonstrations. - The players need good timing as they need to control the ball and pass the ball on. Concentration and eye-contact between the passer and the player receiving are important here. - The players should call the player receiving the ball before every pass. - The players should always be on the move and shouldn't occupy the same space. That way the game flows and awareness of space and game intelligence can be improved.
