Color Reaction

  • Age U6 - U13
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

  • Mark one field (possibly more)
  • Place four differently colored cones outside the field
  • Each player is assigned a number
  • Form fields depending on the number of players
  • Maximum of 4 players in one field

Procedure

  • Players initially pass the ball to each other in free order
  • The coach loudly calls out a number and a color
  • The players with the ball pass it to the called player, who then dribbles around the specified cone at pace
  • Players must also remember the number of their teammates
  • Players can assist each other by having the called player shout "Here"

Tip

Variations:

  • Only specify the colors. The respective ball holders dribble around the called cones
  • Tips and Corrections:
  • The called player must quickly orient themselves in the space to be able to dribble around the called cones rapidly. At the same time, they must demand the pass and preferably take the ball in the desired direction with the first touch.
  • Immediately after dribbling around the cone, the player can pass the ball back into the field. This way, the breaks for the other players are kept as short as possible.
