drawing Dribble exercise with long pass and shot over goal
You are only allowed to run on the lines of, for example, a volleyball field. The person who's 'it' must try to tag 1 of the runners.

Handicaps:

  • Only turn right/left.
  • Knees high.
  • Hopping.
  • Backwards (don't fall!) etc.

Outside you can set up a closed course with hats or cones.


  • Two teams.
  • Players leave together and dribble around pots.
  • At the last game turn completely around and go 1 against 1 and try to finish.
  • After finishing, defender becomes goalkeeper, striker becomes defender and goalkeeper takes ball and joins in for the exercise.

  • 2 players at 7m from each other.
  • One player works and goes left and right to get the ball and pass.
  • After the pass walk backwards to the cone and then forward to the other side.
  • Change after 3 minutes.
  • Variation;
    • Play in 1 go, increase distance, how many times in 2 minutes?
drawing Targeted pass
  • Passingdrill: get into the ball, play and move on

  • On a field of 10m by 15m one defender stands in the middle.
  • The other players stand on the sideline with a ball.
  • When given a sign, these players try to get to the other side with the ball.
  • The defender in the middle tries to take the ball and kick it outside the field, at that moment the attacker also becomes a defender.
  • Continue like this until there is only 1 person left.

Passing drill: small group maximum of two touches
