Improving Passing and Ball Control with 2 Benches

Back to search

Organisation
- 2 benches or 2 walls
- 4 cones to mark a square
Process
- - The player positions himself in the field and passes the ball against the first bench/wall. After controlling the returning ball, the player uses the first touch to play the ball against the second bench/wall. The player alternates passing the ball against the upper and lower bench/wall.
- Variations:
  - Perform a body feint before the first touch.
  - Perform the exercise against time (How much time is needed to play against each bench/wall 5 times?).
Tip
Coaching Points:
- Maintain an open stance.
- Pass with pressure.
- If the ball is received with the left foot, pass with the right foot.
- If the ball is received with the right foot, pass with the left foot.
- Avoid leaning back while passing.
