Passing to Beat Obstacles

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 6 - 9 players, 10-15 players

Setup

Four cones are used to mark a field (approx. 15 x 20 metres). Then player pairs are formed and positioned approximately 15 metres apart from each other.

Procedure

Hit ball - The player pairs pass balls to each other. Each pair has a ball. The two blue players try to play the ball through the lane as often as possible without the red pairs hitting the blue pair's ball with their balls. Alternative: As preparation for this exercise, lane passes can be practised in pairs.

Tip

- Pass and start timing is often off (passing too early or too late). - 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
