Cutting and Driven Pass

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

Setup

Pitch: 16 cones form four identically built zigzag lanes of four cones each; each lane has its own cone colour: blue, green, red and yellow. The lanes lead to the penalty area from different directions.

Equipment: 16 cones in blue, green, red and yellow as well as several balls.

Players: One player stands at the starting position of each lane.

Procedure

  • The red player dribbles at pace towards the first cone and cuts just in front of it with the outside of the right foot.
  • The red player then dribbles to the next cone and cuts just in front of it with the outside of the left foot.
  • After the last cut, the red player plays a driven pass to the yellow player, who starts the same action.
  • The passing route matches the running route: red to yellow, yellow to blue, blue to green and so on.

Variations — feints for cutting sharply: scissors, pass feint, shot feint, lunge as well as cutting behind the standing leg.

Tip

  • Perform a change of pace with the cut.
  • Start the feints in good time.
