Simple Passing/Control I

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players

Setup

Lay out cone goals as shown. The players stand between the cones.

Procedure

The players pass the ball to their partner, standing opposite them, with their right (left) instep. The ball is then controlled with the player's right (left) instep and then passed back etc. Alternative: - The players passes with his right (left) foot. His partner stops the ball with his right (left) instep, passes the ball back with his instep and then runs backwards around a cone. - Control with one foot, pass with the other. (Tip: Control should be one touch, so that the ball lands at the right (left) foot and can be passed immediately with the next touch. - Distance between the players 2-3 meters. One touch passing. Instep and outstep. - Vary with 'laces', crossing technique and outstep.

Tip

4 cones or more, - When controlling the ball, the standing leg is often too far away from the ball. As a result, the player often leans back. The standing leg should be 30-40 cm to the side of the ball. - When passing the ball the player's foot should be slightly lifted and swung downwards towards the ball. - Many players control the ball with their 'laces' or outstep. Control with your instep lightly flexed over the ball is, at first, far easier.
