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

Setup

6 cons are set out as shown. One player starts at each cone. The players in the middle start with a ball.

Procedure

Group A, B and C: Player C passes to B who passes to A and overlaps player A on the way towards the middle cone. Player A then passes to C who lays the ball off with his first touch in space for B to runs onto. After that C takes up A's position and B dribbles to the former position of D. Groups D, E and F have the same passes and runs. I.e. F dribbles after his run to Position C. D to position E and player E runs to position F.

Tip

6 cones, Start by running the drill slowly and then speed up. The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from the ball before receiving the ball. The drill can be extremely tiring when conducted quickly with only six players. - Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic. - The reciever should call for the ball. - Pass and run timing is important - Players often run faster than their pass. - Don't forget the runs. - Demand good strength of pass and pass precision. - Pass precision is more important than pass speed. - Concentratuion must be held at all times.
