Soccer - Five Pass Drill |
|
|
|
|
Purpose: Works on team passing and spacing
Drill: Split players into even groups (4 vs 4 up to 7 vs
7).
Mark a large grid with cones (approximately 40 yards
x 30 yards). A neutral player is placed at each end of
the field. To score a goal, a team must make 5 or
more passes to teammates and then must make the
6th pass to one of the neutral players without the
ball being touched by the opposition. After 5
consecutive passes are completed the team may
pass to either neutral player without alternating.
Credit is not given for a pass if the ball is passed
back to the player from which it came. They still
keep possession and play continues).

Soccer - Give and Go Drill |
|
|
|
|
Purpose: Works on passing, moving without the ball
and combination play.
Drill: Setup three cones. Place four players behind
cone A. Set cone B up about 10-15 yards downfield,
and lineup two players at cone B. Set up cone C
about 20-25 yards downfield from cone A and lineup
two players at cone C.
The first player in line at cone A passes the ball to
the first player inline at cone B and continues up the
field, the player at cone B receives the ball, tuns and
returns the ball to the player from cone A. This
player controls the pass and then makes a long pass
to the player at cone C. The player at cone C, then
dribbles with the ball to cone A. The player from
cone A goes to the end of the line at cone B, the
player from cone B goes to the end of the line at
cone C and the player from cone C stays in line at
cone A.

Soccer - Gotcha Drill |
|
|
|
|
Purpose: This a great drill for conditioning, dribbling,
passing and aggressiveness.
Drill: Each player will need a ball. Player "1" is "it" and
is the only player to start with a ball. All of the
other players are around the outside of the grid area.
Player "1" dribbles and tries to hit the other players
below the waist with the ball. When hit, that player
gets a ball and joins player "1". The game is over
when all players have been caught. The last player
caught starts with the ball for the next game. If the
task it to difficult for one player at the beginning of
the game, start with two players. Encourage
deceptive passing of the ball, look one-way and
pass the other, use the outside of the fot. Players
not caught should run, jump and use zig-zag
movements.
