Soccer Exercise
Third-Man Passing
- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Main point
- Number of Players 6 - 9 players
Setup
Set up multiple opposing cones as shown in the diagram. The players distribute evenly across the cones. The respective starting player has a ball.
Procedure
Player A passes diagonally to C, who lays the ball off into the run of B. Player B relays the ball into the run of A. A receives the ball and starts a speed dribble, then moves to player D's station. Then the same passing sequence goes in the other direction.
Tip
- The ball is dribbled at maximum speed. - The pass is played sharply into the running path of the player expecting the ball. - The player expecting the ball makes a short check-away run as soon as the passer begins the passing motion, then starts running toward the ball. - The ball reception and control should be one fluid movement. The ball bouncing too far away or a reception deviating from the straight running path should be avoided. - All ball-related drills should be practised with both the right and left foot. - 4 cones
