Dribbling with Feints in Two Squares Variation I
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Progression, Main point
- Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players
Setup
Set up a large cone square and a smaller cone square placed inside it. The players distribute evenly at the four cones of the large square. The respective starting player has a ball.
Procedure
The four starting players begin with a dribble to the nearest inner cone, which they pass on the inside (approaching from the left). From there they dribble to the next outer cone to the right, where they hand the ball to the next player (see running path markings in the diagram). Variations: - Perform a feint before the cone and continue with a speed dribble to the next outer cone. - Speed dribble to the inner cone and pass the ball directly behind it to the waiting player at the next outer cone. Sprint to the cone after the pass. - Dribbling + feint before the cone and pass to the next cone player. Passing path = running path.
Tip
- Make sure that the skills demanded in this drill (dribbling, feints, passing, sprinting) are executed quickly, precisely, and without long wait times for the player expecting the ball. - The inner cone should always be dribbled around as tightly as possible. - When executing the feint, pay attention to proper timing (start the feint at approx. 1-2 m distance from the cone). - The handover pass to the next player should always be played in his running direction and not behind him. - When dribbling, make sure the fastest dribbling technique (outside of the foot) is used. - 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 the correct spacing is restored. This is necessary, on one hand, so the drill runs smoothly and, on the other hand, so the players are repeatedly required to take their eyes off the ball and observe their surroundings. - 4 cones
