Objective of the Practice:
This practice is designed to improve each players technical ability in short range passing with an emphasis on “disguise, pace, accuracy and timing”.
Field Preparation:
Area 20 x 20 yards. Large group of players. Balls. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
An area is marked out approximately 20 yards by 20 yards. A group of players are positioned around the outside
of the grid. Two defenders are placed in the center of the grid and wear different colored vests.
The object of this practice is for the players on the outside of the grid to maintain possession of the ball by using
one or two touch passes. Whenever possible the players must try to pass in between the two defenders. A goal is awarded for ten consecutive passes and each time the defenders are split with a pass. The player responsible for losing possession swaps with one of the defenders.
