Passing with various Passes and Runs I
-
Organisation
4 cones are set out as shown. The ball starts at the starting cone. One player starts at each cone. -
Process
A starts by playing a long ball on the ground to D. As soon as A has passed he makes a curved run to Bs cone who at the smae time makes a short, straight sprint to A and takes over his position. Player D now passes the ball from A back to A to run on to and then moves towards point X, where he receives the ball back from A and passes with his first touch to B. D and C swap positions. Player B starts the same sequence again. -
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. -
