Soccer: 2 touch 3's Passing

This is the best handball site I have visited.

Joelma

DESCRIPTION

Set up as shown with 2 cones (the disatance of which between can be modified depending on ability or challenge you want to set your players).

1 player on each cone and 1 player in the middle, 1 ball between the 3.

Players always take 2 touches, the ball is moved from one end, into the middle man and then to the other end before the sequence is repeated from the other side.

COACHING POINTS

Ideally get your players taking the two touches with both feet, controlling with one foot and passing with the other.

Demand firm accurate passes to help improve the players first touches.

The player in the middle should look to move and find a new space to receive after every pass they make.

Ideally get the player in the middle to receive body open. If not then get them to open their body with the first touch that they take.

1, 2, 3 Pass and Move:

There are two triangles in this drill, both using the same top point player (player 5).

Players in the top triangle pass in an anti-clockwise direction and players in the lower triangle pass in a clock-wise direction.

Both pairs of players must use the middle player as their third passing option.

Passing and Receiving

3 Man Pass and Run:

Players pass and then move to find an empty cone. Players should take 1 touch.

With bigger numbers in your training session you can increase the number of cones and the number of balls accordingly.

Passing and Receiving

2v1 Functional Play:

Player 1 starts with the ball.

The ball is played in with pace to the feet of player 2.

As the ball is played in player 2 moves to the ball, and with their first touch aim to bring the ball inside and round the defender.

The same can be done on the outside towards the touch line.

Passing and Receiving

1st touch shooting:

Encouraging 1st time shooting by using the correct technique to take the shot early and finish from close range.

Get your knee over the ball and use the pace of the ball to generate the power. By trying to strike the ball too hard, the likelihoood is the accuracy will be poor.

Blue 1 plays ball into area and clue 2 moves in to shoot 1st time. Blue 2 goes to replace blue 1 and blue 1 runs around working area to take blue 2s place.
