Welcome to the FineSoccer Drills Newsletter. Today's featured
activity works on quick pass exchanges between target players and
midfielders resulting in a shot.
This would be considered small group training as you wouldn't
want long lines in this activity. It's best if done in groups of 6-8 plus a
keeper.
Start with a keeper in goal, a small line on the end line and
another small line 30 yards out with balls. There are 3 cones around 22
yards out in a line, 2 yards apart. The players 30 yards out have balls.
The first person in the line on the end line starts by
sprinting to the top of 18
The first person with the ball passes through the gate made
up of two cones and then sprints on an angle toward the top of the 18. The
key is for this pass to get to the target player at the same time the
target player arrives at the top of the 18
The target player makes a one touch return pass through the
second gate to the midfielder coming forward and this midfielder shoots
first time.
As soon as the shot is hit, the next two players in line
start.
The key to this activity is if the first pass doesn't go
through the correct gate, or if it doesn't get there at the same time as
the target player, the turn is over. Also, if the return pass doesn't go
through the second gate, the turn is over. It's important for the players
to understand that when in the final fourth of the field, precision counts.
Change the angles of the passes and the location within the
18 to give various looks at the goal.
