Coaching Pointers:
Position a group of players with a ball each beside the goal. Place a goalkeeper in goal. Position players and
cones as in the diagram above, with a player positioned at each cone. The practice is performed in the following sequence.
Player "A" passes to player 'B" and follows the pass to take the place of player "B". Player "B" passes to player
'C" and follows the pass to take the place of player "C". Player "C" passes to player 'D" and follows the pass to
take the place of player "D". Player "D" attacks the goal and tries to score a goal. After the attack is ended player "D" joins the end of group.
Coach should keep track of goals scored and make a competition between the players.
The coach should emphasize the following coaching points:
Make firm accurate passes.
When controlling the ball, make the first touch in the direction of the next cone and get the ball out of the feet.
Encourage players to use a variety of shooting techniques such as the low driven shot, the chip shot, the lofted
shot and bent shot etc.
Variation: Have players run with the ball from cone to cone instead of passing. |
