Four cones are set up as specified. The starting cones each have a ball; one player stands at each of the other cones. (1) Speed dribble (2) Feint
Procedure
A opens the passing combination with a give-and-go with Player B and then plays a long, low ball to Player C. C receives the ball while turning and tries to beat the approaching Player A with a feint. Then C and A switch positions. The same sequence now takes place in the other direction, beginning with a give-and-go between Player D and A, etc.
Tip
The ball-expecting players always make a preparatory movement. A dynamic jump step sideways or backward, then moving toward the pass. The exercise is enormously running-intensive at fast execution speeds with only four players. - Under opponent and time pressure, a very demanding, game-like passing game is required. - Pass timing and start timing are decisive. - Often the players run faster than they pass and vice versa. - Do not forget the running path. - Demand pass sharpness and accuracy. - Accuracy before speed. - Concentration must be maintained. - This passing game is very running-intensive and demands a high level of football intelligence. - The players need some time to memorise the exercise sequence. - Good ball security and combination play are the goals. - Anticipation, perception, reaction, movement and action speed with and without the ball are constantly demanded. - 4 cones
