Trapping with Light Pressure

Set Up:

This soccer drill focuses on accurate passing and trapping with light pressure. Set up Players 1 and 2 15-25 yards apart. Player 1 starts with the ball and will make a pass through the air to Player 2. Player 2 traps the ball and quickly passes back to Player 1. Player 3 will shadow player 2 and apply light pressure throughout the drill. Players should focus on gaining position and shielding off the defender. Rotate positions after a few minutes.
