Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Oxford Athletic FC Drill 2 Passing while moving (Triangle passes)

Animation 1 (10 mins)

For this drill we are focusing on passing while moving. 

Setup 4 players on each cone with extra players on the starting cone, this will ensure to keep the drill going when the first player has to move off from the first cone! 

Passing sequence;

• Player 1 Pass and move to player 2.
• Player 2 lays it off to player 1 and moves into space.
• Player 1 passes to the middle player.
• The middle player passes into space to receive and passes into no.3

Start the drill slow, so the players know what they're doing, build up the speed as you go along.

Coaching points;

Make sure they are receiving and passing with both feet.

Make sure they are moving before they receive the pass, don't allow them to wait for the pass and move.

Make sure that we are constantly communicating when we move.

Make sure they do strong passes (instep passes) when the go wide and good weight passes to allow a quick 1-2 when laying off and passing to the middle.

Weight of the pass is crucial in this drill and remind the players to use both feet and to keep control of the ball when receiving.
