3 Stations with a Technical and Coordination Focus

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

Pitch: Three stations in front of a full-size goal. Blue cones mark the waiting point of the next player at a distance of at least two metres; a zone marks the position of the coach.

Equipment: 1 full-size goal, small cones, 1 agility ladder and several balls.

Players: Small groups of three players each; plus a goalkeeper.

Procedure

The three stations are completed one after the other; the shot is taken from the penalty area line in each case.

  • Station 1: Dribble through the cone course — only with the right, only with the left, alternately left and right, outside and inside or with the sole. Then a shot with the right foot.
  • Station 2: Different tasks at the agility ladder: two contacts inside and one contact outside; two contacts inside and three outside; one contact inside and two outside; three contacts outside and one inside, staying on one side; as a pyramid one, two, three, two, one contact. The follow-up action is a one-two with the coach and the shot.
  • Station 3: Dribbling at speed towards the cone. Dribble past the inside of the cone with a feint and finish with the left foot.

Variations: Adapt the tasks at the agility ladder to the ability of the players. Carry out the drill as a team competition — which team scores more goals?

Tip

  • Keep the ball close.
  • Look up from the ball before the finish.
