Tip
Make sure that the skills demanded in this drill (ball control techniques, feints, crossing) are executed quickly and precisely. - When executing feints, make sure there is a lateral deviation from the running direction. - The handover pass to the next player should be played to his strong foot. - Continuously remind the ball-carrying players to check by looking up regularly whether an even tempo is maintained between the players during the drill. If not, the players must independently adjust the tempo briefly until they are back at the same height. This is necessary, on one hand, so the drill runs smoothly and, on the other hand, because the players are repeatedly required to take their eyes off the ball and observe their surroundings. - When crossing paths, make sure the players run past each other without colliding. Here too, make clear to the players that they must take their eyes off the ball to see the teammate's running path. - In this drill, communication between the executing players can also ensure that the synchronised drill sequence is maintained. Note: Communication is an important component of all team sports. Therefore, always demand communication in this drill. - 4 cones
