  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

• 1 dummy in the middle (or a defender)
• 3 cones

Procedure

Tip

Coaching Points

• Goalkeeper: Play passes with enough pace. Target the front foot of the receiver.
• Receiving player on the left/right: Play the ball deep with the second touch. Offer support in an open stance.
• Upper player: Take the ball directly into your stride and accelerate. Use a feint and change of pace to get past the dummy or defender.
• Variation: The players on the left and right can incorporate a running feint before receiving the pass (move deep, then come back short).
