Oriented control, Dribbling at speed, Header, Short pass, Long pass, Cross, Finishing, Shooting from long distance ground level, Volley shooting nearly, Triangle |
Organization
Play inside a regulatory half field. Place a starting cone sideways to the penalty area and close to the corner flag. Place a pole 40 meters distant, parallel to the cone. Place a marker sideways to the pole and close to the centre. Place a pole in front of the goal about 30 meters distant. Place a second marker diagonally to the pole about 25 meters away from the goal. Players go to the starting point with a ball. B and C go to their respective marker (See picture). Give a good amount of balls to player D and arrange him to the touchline opposite to the starting point. Place 2 players behind the goal with sufficient balls to ensure continuity.
Description
- Player A starts carrying the ball towards the pole that is in front of him
- Player A surrounds the pole and performs a long pass to B
- Player A sprints towards A1; while B, after controlling the ball, passes back to A
- Player A performs an oriented control toward the pole (That simulates a rival) then passes the ball to C
- C gives back the ball in order to conclude the give and go A, who has moved to A2
- A receives the ball and shoots at goal from outside the area
- A sprints towards the box on A3 to receive the cross from D
- A shoots at goal
- After the second shot, one of the players behind the goal gives a ball to A, who carries it and goes back to the starting point in order to start the circuit all over again
- Players start the exercise whenever the preceding player is done with the first point (Ball driving in speed)
- At the end of each series swap positions (The 5 players from the group swap positions with the 5 fixed players)
Variations
- Start the exercise from the opposite side
Coaching Points
- It is very important to keep a high intensity and pace during the whole exercise
- Keep the ball close to the foot
- Stay on top of the ball maintaining the bust slightly bent forwards
- The player must keep their head up
- The foot must impact the center of the ball with the instep when shooting at goal
- The player must keep an eye on the ball when shooting
- Having their arms open allows the player to have more stability when shooting
- Pay attention to the distance and the direction of the support foot during the pass
- The player, during the pass, must end the skill accompanying the trajectory with the movement of the leg
- The ankle must remain rigid when hitting the ball, choosing the right point of impact over the ball
