Exercise of the Week 24: Central Attacks with Options Level 1 Variants I-III

Use cones to set up a passing station according to the respective variant. Two players go to cone I, two players to cone II, and one player to cone IV. Cone III remains unoccupied. The balls are at starting cone I.

Variant 1: Player B passes to player C and follows his pass to cone II. C passes toward cone III. Simultaneously with C's kicking motion, player D starts toward the ball and passes it — ideally directly from the run — on to player E. D follows his pass and lines up at cone IV; player E does a speed dribble to cone I. This sequence then repeats continuously. The second round is opened by a pass from player A to B, who passes on toward cone III, where player C passes it on to player D. Variant 2: Player B plays a one-two with player D, then passes to C and follows his pass to cone II. C passes to D and stands next to cone II. Player D starts toward the ball and passes it — ideally directly from the run — on to player E. D follows his pass and lines up at cone IV; player E does a speed dribble to cone I. This sequence then repeats continuously. The second round is opened by a pass from player A. Variant 3: Player B plays a long pass into player D's run and runs to cone II. D then passes to cone III into player C's run and positions himself at cone II. C passes to E, who passes — ideally directly from the run — on to player E. C follows his pass and lines up at cone IV; player E does a speed dribble to cone I. This sequence then repeats continuously. The second round is opened by a pass from player A.
