The first drill will be set up with 2 cones approximately 10-15ft apart, with groups of around 3 behind each cone. This a simple passing drill to improve technique, where the person at the front will pass to the player at the opposite cone, and join the back of their line and the player who receives it passes it back to the opposite line and joins the back of their line. After I feel they have mastered this, I will increase the distance of the pass to make it more challenging, with a more accurate pass needed. I may also challenge individuals to take the first touch on one foot, and pass with the other to make sure they are using both feet effectively.
Use the inside of the foot to deliver a firm pass to help improve players first touch.
