Jimmy Coach, England

DESCRIPTION

Drill designed to encourage players to look where they are passing and to consider their footwork and body position when passing.

COACHING POINTS

Cones are set equally around a centre point, in lines containing 4 different colours. (Suggested min 3 lines, max 6 lines, pictured 4 lines) Another group of cones - one cone for every line set out - are dropped randomly around the main setup at a distance decided by the coach (longer distance if working on fitness/skills under fatigue). The drill begins with all players in the centre space between the lines. On the whistle, players will sprint out and collect one of the cones outside of the main setup, sprint back returning the cones to the coach and position themselves faced out on a cone of the colour they collected. There should be one player per line. Ball is provided to one player by the coach, who specifies whether the drill runs clockwise/anti-clockwise. Players pass the ball around the circle in the specified direction, remaining faced out and on their cone. Coaching Points: Spinning the ball is not important here Hands up as a target for the pass Keep ball away from chest Looking to receive pass/looking where passing Use footwork to change body position (open leg out towards pass) Hands should follow the pass Try to maintain one motion from pass receive to pass distribution
