Training SetProgression, Main point
Number of Players1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players
Setup
4 cones are set up as shown. Two or more players start at the start cone, cones I + II have one player each. The ball starts at the start cone.
Procedure
Player A starts the passing sequence with a pass to player B. He then runs diagonlly infield while B sprints towards cone III and D to cone II. Player A controls the ball played back from B with one touch, runs with the ball for one or two meters and then passes to C. A runs diagonally and receieves the ball from C with Cs first touch. C then runs around cone III to cone I where he joins the next sequence. At the same time player E sprints towards player A. A changes direction after controlling the ball and dribbles at speed towards player E and tries to go past him with a trick. The coach decides whether player E should be active or passive. E is replaced by anbother palyer and joins at the start position.
Tip
4 cones, Start by running the drill slowly and then speed up. The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from or to the side of the ball before receiving the ball. The drill can be extremely tiring when conducted quickly with only four players.\n- Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic.\n- The reciever should call for the ball.\n- Pass and run timing is important\n- Players often run faster than their pass.\n- Don\'t forget the runs.\n- Demand good pass precision.\n- Pass precision is more important than pass speed.\n- Concentration must be held at all times.\n- The players will need a certain amount of time until they have mastered the drill.\n- A good touch and passing skills are required.\n- Anticipation, awareness, reaction, speed of thought and movement with and without the ball are continuously required.\n- The drill should be completed at top speed.\n- A trick should be used together with successful offensive tackling
