FineSoccer Drill 32

Here is another simple drill made quite intense (in case you haven't noticed, I prefer that drills be done for short periods of time at a great deal intensity rather then for longer periods without the concentration and intensity).

Have two players stand 15 yards apart passing a ball back and forth one touch (can't get more simple then this can it?).  Now the twist is that really emphasize that when the ball is the ball is played to a player, they must sprint to meet the ball at the earliest point possible.  As soon as the ball is played away, the player must sprint backwards as fast as possible.  

This might not seem like a strenuous thing to do but if done at full speed, it will really get their heart rates up and get a nice burning feeling in the calves.

Give it a try for three one minute periods with thirty seconds rest between  sets.  I think you will like the results.

Have a great day.
