Football: Triangle Conditioning - Thigh control & pass

Does your attack run out of momentum due to a lack of support from other players? If so practice the overlap to create more scoring opportunities.

Set up a triangle as shown.

4 players on the outside, 2 on 1 cone and 1 on each of the other 2 cones. 1 ball between the group.

The ball is with the 1st player in the cone with 2. The player passes the ball to the player on the next cone and follows the pass, with the reciever taking a couple of steps backwards before recieving the ball. As this player is recieving the ball, the player on the next cone will run backwards before the ball is passed to him, with that passer following his pass.

The sequence is repeated at each point of the triangle.

Players stand in a triangle formation, with an extra man stood behind the player on the ball.

Players pass in a clockwise direction, following their pass.

Set up a triangle as shown.

3 players on the outside have a ball each and the player in the middle without a ball.

Player in the middle receives a serve from one player on the outside and volleys it back to them using the interior of his feet.

He then leaves the vicinity of the triangle before coming back and and receiving from another player.

The first player at Cone 1 passes the ball to Cone 2, then performs quick feet through the rope ladder, cones or over the hurdles, before sprinting to the pole and joining the queue at the next cone. The player at Cone 2 does the same and this continues around the triangle.
