Ball Control in Groups of Three

Accurate passing is of enormous importance for successful football. Therefore, passing must be practised repeatedly. When execution is incorrect, corrections must be made and the proper technique demonstrated. - This exercise requires high precision and passing accuracy. - The middle player is exposed to high physical demands over time. Therefore, the middle player should be rotated every 60 seconds. Other important points: - The plant foot should be placed 30-40 cm to the side of and level with the ball. - For inside-of-the-foot passes, the toes point upward, the ankle is firmly locked, and the upper body leans slightly forward over the ball. - Stand on the balls of the feet, slightly lift the kicking foot, and strike the ball centrally. Bring the body over the ball and do not lean back into a hollow back (receiving and controlling the ball follows the same principle). - Follow through with the leg after striking the ball. - Pay attention to the arms! When passing with the right inside, the left arm goes to the right hip; when using the left inside, the right arm goes to the left hip! - For an instep pass, the ankle is extended, toes point down, and the upper body leans slightly over the ball. - When playing the ball with the outside of the foot, the player may lean slightly back. - For the inside-of-the-foot drive, move at an angle to the ball and the body goes into a tilted position. - 3 cones
