Technical Exercise: Christmas Tree

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

Setup

Set up a cone course. The yellow cones are always arranged centrally between the red cones.

Procedure

Starting from the four starting points, players always dribble to the right toward the yellow cone and then to the left toward the red cone. The turn is made before the cone, not behind it. The second player always starts when the first player reaches the next middle cone. Exercise 1: Cut with the inside of the foot before each cone. Exercise 2: Cut with the outside of the foot before each cone. Exercise 3: Perform a stepover before each cone. Exercise 4: Perform a pirouette before each cone. Exercise 5: Perform a shot fake before each cone. Exercise 6: Alternate between the five exercises before each cone, so that everything that was practised is performed once in a single round.

Tip

The drill should be started slowly with attention to clean execution of the respective task. Accuracy before speed. As the players gain confidence, the tempo and difficulty level can be increased. The following players must not start too early and must watch to slow down if a player ahead makes a mistake and delays occur. - 17 cones
