Building from the Back through the Goalkeeper - Level 1

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point

Setup

On one half of the field, 6 cone rectangles are set up according to the diagram. 2 players go into each of these cone rectangles. The players from two cone rectangles form a group together, resulting in a total of three groups (red A1 - A4; blue B1 - B4 and yellow C1 - C4). A goalkeeper is in the goal, the balls are distributed among the cone rectangles.

Procedure

The exercise consists of a sequence of passes to the goalkeeper and intra-group passing combinations. One pair from each group of 4 plays the ball to the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper controls the ball and passes it on to the other pair of the group. A player from this pair receives the ball, passes it to his partner in the same cone area, who then plays a long pass back to the partner group that initially played the ball to the goalkeeper. As soon as the goalkeeper has controlled and distributed the ball, the next group starts with their pass to the goalkeeper. The groups play to the goalkeeper in the following order: Red - Blue - Yellow. In detail, the sequence is as follows: A2 passes to the GK, who plays a long ball to A4, who lays it off to A3. A3 hits a long ball to A1. B1 passes to the GK, who throws a long ball to B3, who lays it off to B4. B4 hits a long ball to B2. C1 passes to the GK, who plays a long drop kick to C3, who lays it off to C4. C4 passes a long ball to C2. After each round, the players within their pairs can switch positions, so a player alternately passes and receives.

Tip

- Passing and building from the back over various distances is practised. - Communicate with each other. - Pay attention to correct technique for passing and distribution techniques. - 24 or more cones, 1 full-size goal(s)
