Football: Triangle Passing in 4s

Love the site, it's a fantastic learning tool!

Ian

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

The distance between the cones can be modified depending on how hard you want your players to work and the distance of passing that you want to work on.

Ensure you get good acceleration after each player makes their pass.

Turn and Pass 1:

Set up as shown.

Player 1 passes the ball into the feet of player 2 who must turn and pass the ball to one of the three players outside of the cones, either to his left, right or behind him.

This drill will not only improve the passing technique of the players, but also improve their awareness; knowing what options they have before receiving the ball.

Turn and Pass 2:

In groups of minimum of 4.

Set out the 2 goals behind which each team stands.

1 player from one group goes to the centre square of cones to receive the ball from the other side. They receive the ball, turn and pass the ball through the gate to their partner to score a point.

Then the player from the other team runs into the centre square to receive the ball and turn to pass the ball through the gate to their partner.

Triangle Conditioning - Chest & 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 controls with the chest before volleying it back to them using the interior or the laces of their feet.

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

Triangle Drill:

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.
