Breakout Drill #4
Breakout Drill #4
Set Up:
14-16 players are set up in the defending half, starting at the cones. The goalkeeper begins play with a pass out to Player 1. Player 1 passes the ball up to Player 2 and overlaps him. Player 2 touches the ball off to Player 3, who then plays a thru ball for Player 1 to run onto. Player 1 passes the ball over to Player 4, who dribbles to goal and finishes. During the drill, the players rotate to the line that they passed to, and Player 4 goes to the end line after finishing. Upon completion, the other goalkeeper starts play on the other side of the field with Players 5-8.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 2 has to check away from the ball until Player 1 receives the pass.
2. Player 3 has to hold his run until the ball is played up by Player 1.
3. The combination between Players 2 and 3 must not slow down the run of Player 1.
Progressions:
1 Limit certain players to one or two touches.
