Description

You’ll see this drill (or variations of this drill) at nearly every academy, youth club, and football training facility – and for good reason. It has all the makings of a good drill; simplicity, effectiveness, and maximum participation. Simple Circle involves having enough players on the outside of a circle to feed the balls to the players on the inside of the circle. The players on the inside must receive the ball into space, dribble the ball and then pass the ball to another player on the outside of the circle. This drill is highly effective for not only helping your players improve their passing technique but also develop an understanding of receiving priorities in a ‘passive competitive’ environment. Make sure all players get enough practice time.
