Passing with two Balls with Opposition

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

Setup

4 cones are laid out as hown. One player starts at each cone. Two further players take up their positions within the field so that the make up a triangle with the other players at the cones (see graphic). D and A have a ball each.

Procedure

The drill starts simultaneously on both sides. A and B and D and F play one-twos. A overlaps the defender B and receives a pass from C and passes on to E who is now at the opposite cone (where he has to be standing after the pass and move from group D,E,F). Player A takes up Bs former position and B that of A. The same sequence runs in the shape of a triangle in the D,E,F group. D and E swap positions in this group. Player C and F should regularly change positions.

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.\n- Under time pressure (and when done with 2 balls), 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.
