Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Counter Attack

Dutch Triangles 1 (15 mins)

Dutch Triangles Activity 1 (12 min) drink & rest 3 mins

The exercise starts by Player A passing to Player B with the inside of his foot. Before Player A makes the pass, Player B should check away two or three steps behind him before moving forward to receive the pass with forward momentum. Player B receives the pass with his right foot and pushes the ball to his right behind the cone. While this is going on, Player A simply follows his pass and moves to the next cone in back of the players already waiting there in line. Player B then continues the exercise by playing the ball with his right foot to Player C, who then plays the ball to Player A to complete the triangle.

Variation 1: Change direction to play with left foot.

Variation 2: Add a second ball to reduce lag time.

Coaching Points: The ball should be played crisply at game speed, communication, quick movement, use of both feet
