Twist-Off, Cutting with Lofted Ball and Firm Pass

Pitch: Cones in three colours are set up as shown in the graphic: yellow cones form two zigzag lanes, blue cones form a line as a passing obstacle, red cones mark the starting and target positions.

Equipment: Cones in different colours, bibs and several balls.

Players: One blue, one yellow and one red player each.

• The blue and the yellow player start at the same time and dribble towards the cones.
• At station 1 the blue player performs a twist-off four times and plays a lofted ball to the second yellow player.
• At station 3 the yellow player cuts four times and then plays a firm pass through the line of cones to the red player.
• The red player either takes the ball to the side first time or drags it to the side behind the standing leg.
• Change of positions: the passing route corresponds to the running route.

Note: Only introduce the lofted ball after a few rounds so that the muscles are sufficiently warmed up.
