Technical Exercise: Square / Dice-Five

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

Setup

Set up a cone square with a pole/flag/cone placed in the middle. Players distribute equally at each cone.

Procedure

The first player at cone A and cone D simultaneously start a dribble toward the centrally placed flag/pole/cone and perform a move specified by the coach just before it. They then continue diagonally to the opposite cone. The first players at cones B and C start their runs as soon as players A and D have passed the middle cone. Variation: The players run to the middle cone, perform the coach's specified move, chop, and run back to the same cone they started from.

Tip

- Make sure the players start at the same time. - For a shot or pass fake, both players must execute the move to the same side (when executing with the right leg, both go left past the cone; when executing with the left, right past the cone). - Generally, the following rules apply for moves, among others: Moves are body feints. So pay attention to the upper body movement, through which the opponent is deceived. Always have exercises performed with both feet. Many touches on the ball, always control the ball, keep it close to the foot so the opponent can't reach the ball. Wait with the execution until 1-2 metres before the cone, which imitates the opponent. - 5 cones
