Field Setup
- 2 x 4 x 2 cones or markers set up next to each other to form two lanes.
- Players pass the ball precisely through the lane of cones or markers and sprint after it.
- Another player (white) receives the ball and dribbles to the other lane.
- There, this player repeats the action towards player 3.
- Player 3 starts again at the same place as player 1.
- The ball must go through the lane of cones or markers.
- If a cone is hit, the player must sprint to set the cone upright and do three push-ups at the end.
- The ball must pass all the cones before the receiving player can take the ball and dribble to the other position.
Walk Straight Forward
- Jog to the last cone. Keep your upper body upright. Hips, knees, and feet should form a line. Do not let your knees buckle inward. Run slightly faster on the way back. Repeat the exercise twice.
- Jog to the first cone. Stop and bring your knee forward and upward. Rotate your knee outward and place your foot down. Keep your pelvis horizontal and your upper body still. Repeat with the other leg. Jog back after the course. Repeat the exercise twice.
- Jog to the first cone. Stop and bring your knee sideways upward. Rotate your knee inward and place your foot down. Keep your pelvis horizontal and your upper body still. Repeat with the other leg. Jog back after the course. Repeat the exercise twice.
- Jog to the first cone. Shuffle sideways to your partner. Circle around each other without changing your direction of view. Slightly bend your hips and knees. Shift your body weight to the balls of your feet. Jog back after the course. Repeat the exercise twice.
- Jog to the first cone. Shuffle sideways to your partner. Jump towards each other in the middle for shoulder contact. Land on both feet with bent hips and knees. Shuffle back to the first cone. Jog to the next cone and repeat. Jog back after the course. Repeat the exercise twice.
- Run quickly to the second cone. Run backward to the first cone. Keep hips and knees slightly bent. Run two cones forward and one back each time. Jog back after the course. Repeat the exercise twice.
Execution
- Divide your team into four groups of four players, each with one ball.
- Players pass the ball around within their team in the designated area.
- Players must remain in constant motion with frequent changes of pace to find space.
- Each team should attempt to maintain a diamond shape.
- Communication is essential; players must call for the ball and shout the name of the teammate to whom they are passing.
- Passes must be precise, either into the space or to the feet of the teammate.
- Players must not touch each other, and the balls must not collide.
- This exercise requires great attentiveness from the players.
- Add a passive defender who can defend any ball.
- Add an active defender who is allowed to win the ball.
Execution
- Sprint from cone to cone.
- At each cone, perform a task:
- Task 1: Perform one push-up.
- Task 2: Sit down and quickly stand up again.
- Task 3: Jump as if heading a football.
- Many variations are possible.
Execution
- Mark out an area of 30 by 40 metres.
- Assign each player a number.
- Players pass in numerical order: from player 1 to player 2, to player 3, and so on, while moving through the area.
- Use 2-3 balls to increase speed and awareness.
- Ensure players move throughout the entire area and do not just stand close to the players they need to pass to.
- Players must call for the ball when it is their turn and shout the name of the player they are going to pass to.
- Have players perform specific actions when making a pass, for example: play the ball into the run.
- The receiving player must accelerate.
- The odd numbers may only touch the ball once, the even numbers twice.
- Alternate these rules.
Execution
