Exercise of the Week 17: Double One-Two

Setup

Equipment: 4 cones and several balls.

Players: Eight players or more. With more than 16 players, the drill is set up twice.

The blue player starts with a short pass to the stationary blue wall player, who lays the ball back into the run first time.
This is followed by a first-time pass to the red stationary wall player, who also lays the ball back into the run first time.
Finally the blue player plays a first-time pass to the large cone of the red group.
There the red team-mate plays the two one-twos with the wall players in reverse order.
After the two one-twos, the blue player runs to the red group.

The player waiting for the ball starts the counter-movement at the same moment as the passing player's backswing.
The passer matches the running speed to the speed of the pass — players often run faster than they pass.
The standing foot is not placed too far away from the ball; the players do not lean back.
The timing of the pass and of the start are decisive.
Demand firm and accurate passes.
