Setup

A cone triangle is set up. An additional cone is placed inside the cone triangle. Five players distribute themselves at the cones as shown. The ball is at starting cone E.

Procedure

The passing sequence 1-6 is first played in one direction and then reversed (7-12) in the other direction. E passes to D, who lays it back to E. E plays to C, who passes on to B. B lays it back to C, and C plays to player A. Now the same sequence starts in the opposite direction. A passes to B, who lays it back to A. A plays on to C, etc. Movement paths: After several rounds, players rotate clockwise. A takes position B, B takes position C, C takes position D, D takes position E, and E takes player A's position. The player receiving the pass steps 1-2 m back and comes to meet the passer.

Tip

- This passing exercise requires a high degree of concentration and game intelligence. - Do not place the standing foot too far from the ball and ensure the players do not lean backward. - The pass timing and start timing are crucial. - Players often run faster than they pass. - Demand pass sharpness and accuracy. - Accuracy before speed. - 4 cones
