Playing Down the Wings | Pass into the Striker

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19, Men's / Women's
  • Training Set Main point
  • Number of Players 10-15 players, 16-22+ players

Setup

Pitch: Eight red and four yellow cones. Two wing zones are marked out on the wings, with cone goals on the halfway line and in the middle of the pitch.

Equipment: 12 cones, several balls and 1 full-size goal.

Players: Two teams plus goalkeepers.

Procedure

  • The attacking team plays freely, with the restriction that the goal first has to be unlocked before a finish is allowed.
  • To do so, the team must either dribble through one of the two dribbling goals or play a pass into the striker through the yellow passing gate to a team-mate.
  • If the defending team wins the ball, it must dribble through one of the red dribbling goals on the halfway line or play a pass through the yellow passing gate to a team-mate. If this succeeds, the roles are swapped.

Tip

  • Demand a high intensity.
  • Provoke many 1 vs 1 situations.
  • Demand quick transitions.
