End of Warmup & Ball Control Drills

Passing Drill Exercise

Objective
Ball circulation, helping pass, control, quick decision taking.

Space
20x20

Duration
2 minutes

Number of Players
Players in pairs

Materials
1 Ball, 2 cones

Organization and Development

With the cones placed 5 meters apart and the players standing behind the
cones, the ball is passed from Player A to Player B, who controls the ball with
the sole of the foot and drags the ball across the body with the same foot so
that a pass can be played with the other foot. Limit to two touches on the ball.

Variations
On the command Change from the coach, the rotation of the passing
movement is reversed, thereby working on controlling and passing with the
opposite feet.

A B
Combination Drill Exercise

Objective
Drill to combine dribbling, trick skill, passing, rotation, quick decision making.

Space
20x20

Duration
5 minutes

Number of Players
Try to limit it to six players per set of cones

Materials
2 Balls, 6 cones of 1 colour and 1 cone of another colour.

Organization and Development

The Coach starts this routine by playing the first 2 passes to enable the
rotation to progress.
Player receives the ball and controls with the sole of the foot, moving towards
the line of cones. Player dribbles through the 2 cones and then must perform
a designated skill to go around the middle cone before continuing his dribble
around the last 2 cones. Player then heads to the last cone and passes the
ball sharply to the starting position and then runs to assume a position at the
back of the group.
The next player begins once the first player is at the centre cone.
Ensure the players use sole of the foot to dribble through the cones.

Variations
Allow the player to chose a skill to beat the middle cone..
BALL CIRCULATION Exercise

Objective
Offensively - Ball circulation, quick decision taking, far post finishing.
Defensively Change of individual marking anticipation, guarding far post
area.

Space
28x20

Duration
5 minutes

Number of Players
Two teams of four players + GK

Materials
Balls, bibs (two colours)

Organization and Development

Playing with 2 or 3 touches on the ball, we have a situation of 2vs2 inside the
pitch. The other two players are situated at the corners of the baselines (pivot
players). A player has the option to pass to his team mate inside or to a pivot
but when passing to the pivot he has to switch roles with him. The pivot then
has the options to continue play or to pass to the other player who will try to
position himself at the far post area. The pivot does not have the option to
pass back to the player who played him. Balls are placed above the goalpost
net and the goalkeeper is starting the game with his throw in quickly in order
to maintain the exercise flow. There are no side kick ins or corner kicks.

Variations
Limitation of ball touches. Pivot playing only at the far post.
