Soccer drill: pass and kick 2

This is a technical football exercise in a pass and kick form.

Mark out a square of 15 by 15 meter.

Place three or four players at all yellow cones. If you have sixteen players or more, it is best to mark out two sections. The exercise starts with four players at the same time. All four players dribble to the blue pawn in the middle of the square. When they reach the blue pawn, they cut the ball off to the left or right.

The first player of pawn A passes to the second player of pawn B. He receives the ball and now it's his turn to dribble to the blue pawn and pass to the left or right.

Player A runs after the ball and thus joins the line at the pawn again, keeping the players in a circle. Make sure all players run in the same direction (left or right). After a while, you can switch between left and right.

Coach moments

The ball touches must be good, make sure the players move on their front feet and have an active position to catch the ball

Make sure that the cutting movement is exaggerated and that the ball is in a good position to be passed into.

The ball should be played in hard again and again, in order to keep up the pace and speed of the ball

The dribbling must also be done at a high speed, with the ball close to the foot.

Variants of this type of exercise: (can be performed with the left or right foot)

Cutting with the inside and outside of the foot

Pull back with the left and then turn open with the right

Step over with the left and then take the ball over with the right

Retrieve with the left and tap the ball with the right behind the supporting leg

Tips

Try out different sizes of box When you have a larger section, you are training for fitness and a tight ball When you have a smaller section, you are mainly training for speed of action

Work through this type of exercise in three to five-minute sessions

Try to ensure that the four players who are walking towards the blue cone start at about the same time
