Linear Passing with Position Changes II
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Progression, Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players
Setup
A square is set up using four cones. For this exercise, a minimum of five and maximum of six players are needed. Two players stand at the starting cone, and one player stands at each of the remaining three cones.
Procedure
Passes are played directly (in the order as drawn), with each player following his pass. This creates a circuit that can be performed both clockwise and counterclockwise. The ball-expecting player makes a short counter-movement before each pass. Alternative: - The players may play with multiple touches, i.e., a receiving and first touch takes place before the pass. Normally, the receiving and first touch should occur with the first ball contact and the pass with the second touch. - Play with two balls and six players.
Tip
The exercise can be performed first with one ball and later with two balls simultaneously, depending on the difficulty level. With two balls, the diagonally opposite starting positions must always be double-occupied. At the start of the passing combination, the starting positions must be diagonally opposite. The ball-expecting player starts his counter-movement with the passer's backswing. Do not place the plant foot too far from the ball and make sure the players do not lean backward. Other important points: - The plant foot should be placed 30 - 40 cm to the side of or level with the ball. - For the inside of the foot pass, the toe points upward, the ankle is firmly tensed, and the upper body leans slightly forward over the ball. - Stand on the balls of the feet, slightly raise the kicking foot, and strike the ball in the centre. Bring the body over the ball and do not lean backward (receiving the ball follows the same principle). - After striking the ball, follow through with the leg. - Pay attention to the arms! When passing with the right inside of the foot, the left arm goes to the right hip; when using the left inside of the foot, the right arm goes to the left hip! - For the instep pass, the ankle is extended, toes point to the ground, and the upper body leans slightly over the ball. - When playing the ball with the outside of the foot, the player can easily lean backward. - For the inside of the foot kick, the player moves laterally offset to the ball and the body goes into a tilted position. - 4 cones
