Set up a passing drill with 4 cones as shown. Thefirst cone whould be occupied by more than one player, One player at each of the other cones.
(1) Level 1
(2) Level 2
(3) Level 3
Process
Level 1:
Plaer A begins the drill with a pass on the ground to player B. Player B pased the ball with his first touch to player C who lays the ball off to D, also with his first touch. Each pass should be followed (A to cone II, B to cone III, C to cone IV).
Level 2:
Effectively the same sequence as in level 1, however the sequence is started with a one-two between player A and C, only then is the ball played to player B.
Level 3:
Effectively the same sequence as in level 1, only the first pass is a long ball in the air from A to C.
Alternative:
- The players can take two touches at first
- The passing sequence should flow in both directions
Tip
4 cones, - The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from or to the side of the ball before receiving the ball.
- Hard, precise passes on the ground.
- When laying the ball off, lightly raise the foot.
- The long ball should be played in such a way that the receiver can immediately lay it off.
