Soccer: Triangle Drill

Set up as shown.

Player 1 passes the ball into the feet of player 2 who must turn and pass the ball to one of the three players outside of the cones, either to his left, right or behind him.

This drill will not only improve the passing technique of the players, but also improve their awareness; knowing what options they have before receiving the ball.

Set up a triangle as shown.

4 players on the outside, 2 on 1 cone and 1 on each of the other 2 cones. 1 ball between the group.

The ball is with the 1st player in the cone with 2. The player passes the ball to the player on the next cone and follows the pass, with the reciever taking a couple of steps backwards before recieving the ball. As this player is recieving the ball, the player on the next cone will run backwards before the ball is passed to him, with that passer following his pass.

The sequence is repeated at each point of the triangle.

Players stand in a triangle formation, with an extra man stood behind the player on the ball.

Players pass in a clockwise direction, following their pass.

In groups of minimum of 4.

Set out the 2 goals behind which each team stands.

1 player from one group goes to the centre square of cones to receive the ball from the other side. They receive the ball, turn and pass the ball through the gate to their partner to score a point.

Then the player from the other team runs into the centre square to receive the ball and turn to pass the ball through the gate to their partner.
