FineSoccer Drill 54

Today's series of drills work on passing, dribbling, communication and teamwork.  The are NOT necessarily a progression but rather some options to use as a warm up.

First start with four groups in four lines with a ball with the first person in lines 1 and 3.  See diagram below for the set up

The first player in Line 1 passes to the first player in Line 2 and then sprints to the back of line 4.  At the same time, the first player in Line 3 passes to the first player in Line 4 and sprints to the back of Line 2.  In other words, pass counter clockwise and sprint clockwise.  See diagram below

The emphasis in this drill is in passing not only in the right direction but actually passing to the correct foot (in this case the pass would always be played to the right foot).  After doing this for a short time, change the direction of the pass and sprint.  If you want to add some additional conditioning.  Have them pass to the right and then sprint to the left but ending up where they passed (in other words Line 1 passes to Line 2 but then sprints behind Line 4 and Line 3 to get to the back of Line 2).  If you do this, the sprints will have to be real hard in order to get ready for your next turn. 

There can be a lot of variations to the above mentioned drill.  You can have the lines go far apart and have chipping to the lines followed by a sprint.  Or have a player receive the ball, do a move and then play the next ball.  The only thing limiting you in this drill is your imagination.

The next drill works on dribbling and vision and communication.  Start with four lines as set up below with a cone in the middle.
