OFTEN USED WITH...

Dribble Pass and Move

Setup the practice as shown.

Split the group into two.

Player 1 dribbles up to the cone before passing the ball across to player 2. Players have to make sure that they give a pass in each box.

Passing & Receiving

Speed Work

Player runs up and down slalom.

Players should look ahead of the ball.

Skill Circuit

Pass and follow exercise

This exercise is to practise the right wing cross. A player with the ball runs into the area of cones and hits the ball across to the player at the front of the queue.

This player receives and runs into the next area and crosses the ball. After the cross the player runs to the back of teh other queue. Can be done with 2-4 balls at the same time.

Passing & Receiving

Dribble or pass? 2 vs 1

Players work in threes in this drill, 2 attackers trying to get past the single defender and score in one of the two goals.

The white player starts with the ball and dribbles towards the defender where they are presented with two options: They can either pass to the supporting player or take the ball themselves to go and score in one of the two corner goals.
