- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players
Setup
Set up a diamond/corss as shown. Two or more players start at cones I and IV, one player starts at cones II and III.
Procedure
Player A passes to B and overlaps him. Player B passes with his first touch to C. C passes the ball for A to run onto who passes to D and then takes his place behind him. D now starts the same sequence with C and B in the other direction. Players B and C should regularly change places with the other players.
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 six players.
- Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic.
- The reciever should call for the ball.
- Pass and run timing is importan.
- Players often run faster than their pass.
- Don't forget the runs.
- Demand good pass precision.
