Soccer Exercise
Opponent-Beating Passing with Ball Reception/Control and Dribbling
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players
Setup
Set up the drill as shown in the diagram. Player distribution: B and C at the upper starting cone, player A at the lower cone. The balls are at the upper starting cone.
Procedure
Player B passes the ball straight through the cone gate into the run of player A and challenges him, though his defensive behaviour is passive. A plays a one-two with C, runs through the cone gate, receives the ball on the move, and dribbles to the opposite cone. B takes C's position, C takes A's position, and B takes A's position. Then player D plays the opening pass to player B and the same sequence continues in the other direction.
Tip
- The ball is dribbled at maximum speed. - The pass is played sharply into the running path of the player expecting the ball. - The player expecting the ball makes a short check-away run as soon as the passer begins the passing motion, then starts running toward the ball. - The ball reception and control should be one fluid movement. The ball bouncing too far away or a reception deviating from the straight running path should be avoided. - All ball-related drills should be practised with both the right and left foot. - 5 cones
