Sets of 3 cones/players in a straight line, 5m apart, with 1 player at each cone. 1 ball per group.
- Ball starts with the player at one end.
- Plays 1-2 with middle player.
- Passes to player at other end and switches place with middle player.
- Repeat sequence from other end.
Progression:
- Receive ball behind your cone
- 1st touch control to the other side of the cone
- 2nd touch pass (close to cone, but don't hit it)
Passes are short, so should be accurate with good first touch.
As confidence increases, passes become 1st time passes.
Players jogging very slowly, but continually moving.
This is a warm up exercise, good for the start of training & before matches.
