Organization
Make an equilateral triangle of 25 meters, using cones. At the base of the triangle, place 3 poles forming another equilateral triangle of 5 meters. Perpendicular to the triangle place 2 cones and again perpendicular to the cones at a distance of 10 meters place 2 poles, leaving 1 meter between them (See picture). Players must go behind the starting cone with a ball.
Description
- The player runs with the ball through the technical circuit
- Once they has finished the circuit on running with the ball, the player has to go in between of the cones and with a pass tries to pass the ball within the poles (TARGET)
- After the player finishes the exercise, they runs to the starting cone, and waits their turn
Variations
- Run with the ball using only " the bad leg"
- The player runs with the ball using the following methods:
- With the outer part of the foot
- With the inner part of the foot
- With the sole
- With the inside back
Coaching Points
- Keep the ball close to the foot
- The player, during the pass, has to "close their skill" that is, after shooting, their leg must follow track of the ball
- Try to execute safe impacts with the ball
- Stay above the ball keeping the chest slightly inclined forward
- The player has to keep their head up trying to decrease visual contact with the ball
- Touch the ball with the outer part of the instep, using only the inner part for a change in the direction
- Control what happens around, developing that way the peripheral vision
