Instructions:

Set up 3 channels, 1 player starts on the outside cone who passes into the middle man after the middle man has checked their shoulder and called for the pass (important that scanning is done before the ball has been passed and not while the ball is travelling). The middle man then receives a pass, turns and passes out to the player on the opposite cone. The cone with 2 players on swaps out every pass.

Mechanics for passing:

  • Look at target
  • Eye on the ball

  • Abgle of approach
  • Non-kicking foot alongside the ball in a comfortable position
  • Strike centre of the ball
  • Firm ankle
  • Follow through towards target
Mechanics for control:
  • On toes
  • Eye on the ball
  • Get in line with the ball
  • Decide and present surface towards ball
  • Relax on impact
Mechanics for turning:
  • Eye on the ball
  • Decision, change of direction
  • Control with surface or feint
  • Head up
  • Low centre of gravity
  • Change of direction
  • Acceleration

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

Progress:

  • Add a GK
  • Bring passer into play to create a 2v1

Regress:

  • Make the pitch smaller
  • Defender only allowed to press & not tackle
  • Defender to walk
