Sprint Dribbling with short Passes

  • Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
  • Training Set Progression, Main point
  • Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players

Setup

Set up a box with 4 cones. Two players start at the first cone, all the other cones have one player.

Procedure

5 players, 1 ball Player A passes the ball to player B and follows his pass. Player B sprints diagonally with the bll to player C who performs a take. Player C controls the ball and passes to player D. D then dribbles, as before diagonally. The process should flow in both directions.

Alternative:

6 players, 1 ball The drill must start at the diagonally opposite cones, these cones must be occupied by at least 2 players.

Tip

4 cones.

- The ball should not be further than 50cm from the foot when dribbling. Make sure the players take small steps.

- Precision is more important than speed.

- It is advisable to drible with the outstep and then use the instep to correct dribbling when needed.

- The ball should not be passed too hard during the 'take'.

- The player awaiting the ball should stand showing his team mate on which foot he would like to receive the pass.

- The player awaiting the ball should start moving towards the ball when the passer has recieved the ball.

- The standing leg is often too far away from the ball and/or the player leans back.

- When passing the foot should be slightly lifted and swung downwards lightly towards the ball.

- Many players control and dribble the ball with their 'laces'. Controlling the ball with the instep is much easier as a first step.
