Soccer: 3 Man Pass and Run

What a fantastic tool. I 've found a few drills that are unfamiliar,...

Wes, Rugby Coach

DESCRIPTION

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.

COACHING POINTS

Demand firm passes to test the first touch of your players.

Players should play with 1 touch and thus the movement after the touch needs to be quick.

You can manipulate the distance between the two cones accordingly to demand a different distance of passing and movement.

Encourage players not to always occupy the cone that has just been vacated by another player.

Players should manipulate the weight of pass to take the sting out of the game if others are not making movement quick enough or to add emphasis to the speed of the game if movement is sharp.

Passing and Receiving

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

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.
