Exercise aimed at attackers staying square when running towards a defender in order to fix them to the spot and then spin a pass out to the side.
Attackers start on a cone, before running towards a cone 3m away
On that cone, the attacker sidesteps (drops the shoulder) and goes the other way
Running straight now, the attacher goes towards the tackle tube (or whichever necessary object) in front of them and before 'contact' spins the ball out to the opposite side
For example, if the player stepped towards the left, the pass is made to the player waiting on the right side of the area.
Coaching points
The whole exercise needs to be at match intensity to replicate realism
The sidestep should be quick, you can introduce a passive defender instead of a cone for players to step round
Focus on accuracy of pass first, before encouraging them to increase the speed and flatness of the pass.
