Soccer: Turn and Pass 1

2 players with 1 ball players stand behind their 2 cones.

Players have to take the ball wide of one of the cones to then try and score a goal by passing the ball through the 2 cones of the other player who on receiving the ball takes it wide of the their cones to pass the ball back.

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.

Set up a minimum of 4 pairs of cones in a straight line and get players into pairs, with a player from each pair stood behind the starting cones.

In this pairs passing exercise players are only allowed to use straight passes (no diagonal balls).

The first pass is played from player 1 (p1) to player 2 (p2). P1 then runs diagonally across the grid to receive the return pass from p2.

After passing the ball to p1, p2 must also run to the cone diagonally opposite to receive the next pass.

The drill continues in this way until players reach the final cone.

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 (5 x 5m)
