Receiving and Taking the Ball in the Triangle

Pitch: Nine cones form three cone triangles in three different colours; three further cones mark the position of the passer.

Equipment: 12 cones and several balls.

Players: Two players with a ball at the starting cones, plus one player behind each of the triangles.

• Player A passes the ball to Player B, who comes towards the ball.
• Player B takes the ball in their stride and dribbles to the next starting cone.
• Player A takes over the position of Player B.
• After a while the direction of play is changed.

Variations:

• Take the ball with the inside or with the outside of the foot.
• Change the direction of the first touch and the dribbling distance.
• Stop the ball on the left and take it away on the outside or on the inside.
• Let the ball run through the legs and play it with the heel.
