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 is more challenging
because now a defender is added to win the 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.
