Setup

Pitch: Four red cones form a square; three metres in front of each of them, in the direction of play, stands a blue cone.

Equipment: 8 cones in two colours and several balls.

Players: The players spread out at the four red cones.

Procedure

  • The first player carries the ball to the blue cone with the right foot.
  • There the player carries out a feint — step-over or lunge.
  • The player then passes to the next player, who carries out the drill in exactly the same way.
  • The drill continues as a continuous passing drill; all players follow their pass.

Variations: Change the direction of play after a few rounds.

Tip

  • Go past the red cone with a feint as well as a change of pace and direction.
  • Pick up speed immediately with the first touch.
  • Take the ball with the outside foot towards the red cone.
  • Play the pass firmly to the front foot or into the player's path.
