Field Preparation
Practice area approximately 20 yards x 20 yards, Group of 8 to 12 players. 1 Ball.
Coaching Points
The exercise starts with the players in a large circle 15-20 yards. In the diagram above, player “A” passes the ball
to player “B’. Player “A” must make a run into a space between 2 players, but he CANNOT follow his own pass.
As he runs into space, players “C” and “D’ must quickly close the gap he created and balance the circle.
The object of the exercise is to make sure the circle is always balanced. The practice can be made more challenging by adding another ball.
Coach should develop a high tempo rhythm as quickly as possible.
Players must constantly be moving and communicating with each other.
Passes should be quality followed with explosive runs into space.
Progression:
Perform same exercise as above but now add a defender. first restrict the defending to be passive then go flat out.
