For this week I have prepared for you an exercise for passing the ball, specific to the game of football.
Required materials: cones, discs, four footballs.
Number of players: 8–12 players.
Description of the exercise:
The materials are placed as in the image, the players standing at the discs will have a ball in their possession (the players in blue).
Players A, B, C and D will be placed at a cone positioned 3–4 meters in front of the blue players.
Between players A, B, C and D gates will be created from cones with a distance of 2 meters between them.
Players A, B, C and D receive the ball, dribble around the cone and pass the ball to the next blue player.
The yellow players will change their positions in alphabetical order (Figure no. 47).
Work in rounds of 3–4 minutes, after which the blue players will switch places with the yellow ones.
Progression I of the exercise
Players A, B, C and D will make a passing exchange with the blue ones, after which they will dribble the ball around both blue cones.
Players A, B, C and D will switch their positions in alphabetical order.
Work in rounds of 3–4 minutes, after which the blue players will switch places with the yellow ones.
The blue players will pass the ball directly to the yellow players (Figure no. 48).
Players A, B, C and D will go through all forms of ball handling:
-
left – right;
-
inside – outside.
Progression II of the exercise
Each blue player will have a ball in their possession, the blue players pass the ball to the yellow players in front of them.
The yellow players will dribble the ball towards the farthest cone, will go around it with the ball at their feet, and will pass the ball to the blue player (the one they received it from).
Players A, B, C and D will switch their places in alphabetical order.
Work in rounds of 3–4 minutes, after which the blue players will switch with the yellow ones.
Both the basic exercise and its progression variants are recommended to be performed also on the opposite side.
