Passing Circuit, #3
Passing Circuit, #3
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 runs onto the pass and then walls with Player 2, who has come back to support the play. Player 3 then plays the ball thru to Player 4, who finishes on goal. Upon completion, the players rotate to the next cone. After 10-15 minutes, the drill is moved over to the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. The short passes in the combinations must be played directly to feet.
2. Player 4 must hold his run and wait for Player 3 to settle the ball and look up.
3. The thru pass cannot take Player 4 too close to the goalkeeper.
Progressions:
1. Player 4 must beat the goalkeeper and dribble over the goal line.
