Tip
4 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. The drill can be extremely tiring when conducted quickly with only four players.
- Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic.
- The reciever should call for the ball.
- Pass and run timing is important
- Players often run faster than their pass.
- Don't forget the runs.
- Demand good pass precision.
- Pass precision is more important than pass speed.
- Concentration must be held at all times.
- The players will need a certain amount of time until they have mastered the drill.
- A good touch and passing skills are required.
- Anticipation, awareness, reaction, speed of thought and movement with and without the ball are continuously required.
