Wow what a great website, I have found Sportplan an important tool...

Monique

DESCRIPTION

Set-up a 10 meter grid with a player on each corner.

Player 1 starts with the ball.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 and then quickly moves off their cone and runs to the cone where player 2 is and back to their cone.

Player 2 then passes to player 3, follows the pass to the position of player 3 and back to their starting position.

The aim is to for the players to be back in their starting position before the ball returns back.

COACHING POINTS

Vary the drill, passing to the left and right.
