COACHING POINTS

There are many benefits to regularly doing Connection drills in training. For the passing team, skills such as ball control, passing accuracy, and decision-making are developed. The passer must quickly assess the best passing lane and execute a well-placed pass in order to keep possession of the ball.

Another advantage is how it helps develop first touches. The player receiving the ball needs to take a good first touch or risk losing possession of the ball. Ball control is crucial and will surely improve with this high-pressure situation of a possession based drill

They are also a great training tool for the defensive team. The players in the middle will be outnumbered by the passers so they must work hard to get the ball back. One way they can do this is by closing down the passer quickly and pressing them into a mistake. This will requires speed, awareness, and stamina.
