4-6 players per group. Players number themselves (1, 2, 3 etc.) and form a shape, with each player occupying a cone. The shape can depend on the number of players (see images). Pass 1 ball around in sequence (player 1 > player 2 ... > back to player 1). Note: Stand in front of your cone. No need to follow your pass. Variations: follow your pass (there should be one more player than there are cones) change passing direction Progressions: Add in a second ball. Speed passing competition: Pass all the way around the shape quicker than it takes a âchallengerâ from a different group to dribble or run around the shape. The challenger gets 1 point for every person they pass before the ball returns to the start.
Encourage hard, fast, accurate passes to the forehand. Discourage losing the ball, i.e. give each group 3 balls. If they lose all the balls they do a forfeit (i.e. run a lap around 1/2 the pitch, or 5 press-ups) before collecting the balls. This activity can be used as a warmup for a session on: penalty corners keeping possession Questions: All passes should be to forehand (Q: why? To reduce mistakes + loss of possession). Avoid one-touch passing (Q: why? Same reason as above) What should you do before passing? (look at the receiver, to ensure they're ready for a pass) What should you do before receiving? (start turning your feet/body to the player you will pass to)
