Combination Play on the Edge of the Penalty Area
- Age U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Pitch: Four tall cones, one red, two yellow and two blue cones mark the positions; plus one goal.
Equipment: 4 tall cones, 5 cones, 1 goal and several balls.
Players: Players A to D and a goalkeeper.
Procedure
- Player A passes to Player B.
- Players B and C make a preparatory movement and come towards the pass from A; in this way they pull their opponents with them.
- Player B lays the ball off to Player A, who takes it on diagonally.
- Player A plays a ball through the gap between the centre-back and the full-back into the path of Player D, who has already started. The ball should be played at maximum speed, if possible straight to the goal line.
- Player D takes the ball on towards the goal line and lays it back at a right angle — or, ideally, delivers it straight towards the penalty spot.
- After the cross, Players B and C run into the penalty area and finish first time.
Tip
- Always play the balls at maximum speed and with as few touches as possible.
- Knocking over a tall cone is punished with press-ups or a similar additional task.
