Passing Circuit, #4
Passing Circuit, #4
Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 wall passes with Player 2, and then plays the ball up to Player 3. Player 3 passes outside to Player 2, who has come back to support the play. Player 2 changes the ball over to Player 4, who then plays a thru ball to Player 3, running to goal. Upon completion, the players rotate to the next cone. After ten minutes, the lines are switched over to the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. The short passes in the combinations must be played directly to feet.
2. The long pass from Player 2 to Player 4 has to be a driven ball.
3. Player 3 must hold his run and wait for Player 4 to control the ball and look up.
Progressions:
1. Player 3 must beat the goalkeeper and dribble over the goal line.
