Passing Circuit, #5
Passing Circuit, #5


Set Up:
There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 passes to Player 2, running in from the end line. Player 2 turns inside and plays a square ball to Player 3. Player 1 overlaps down the sideline, and Player 3 sends him thru to the corner. Player 1 crosses to Player 4, and he finishes on goal. Upon completion, Players 1 and 2 switch lines, as do Players 3 and 4. After ten minutes, the players switch over to the other side of the field.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 3 must hold his run and wait for Player 2 to turn and look up.
2. The thru pass should be played first time, and it should not slow Player 1 down.
3. Player 4 has to hold his run until Player 1 is prepared to strike the cross.
Progressions:
1. Head ball and volley finishes only.
