Dribbling, feint, passing, ball reception

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

Set up the drill as shown in the diagram. Player distribution: B and C at the upper starting cone, player A at the lower cone. The balls are at the upper starting cone.

Procedure

The starting player (B) begins dribbling toward the cone gate and performs a feint there. He then passes the ball to the next player (A) waiting at the lower cone. A receives the ball to the side and performs the same drill sequence as B (dribbling, feint, pass to player C). This drill sequence continues continuously.

Tip

- The ball is dribbled at top speed. - The feint is executed right at the cone gate. - The pass is played firmly into the path of the waiting player. - The waiting player makes a short check-away run as soon as the passer begins his backswing, then starts running toward the ball. - The lateral ball reception is done with the inside of the foot or the outside of the foot. - The ball reception should be a fluid motion. The ball bouncing too far away or a reception that deviates from the straight running path should be avoided. - All ball-related exercises should be practised with both the right and left foot. - 5 cones
