Combinations with a one-touch play circuit and supporting player

Ideal as a warm-up, this exercise is a great way to get started. Remember to emphasize the importance of verbal communication, as well as visual communication (off-the-ball runs and movements). This drill was used during a session at Liverpool by Jurgen Klopp.

Animation: Combinations with a one-touch play circuit and supporting player
In an area of approximately 25x35m, set up 10 cones to form 2 work areas as shown in the diagram. Then place 12 players on each of the cones, with 2 players at the starting cone with a ball.

The 2 groups will play in parallel and each passing sequence will proceed as follows:
  1. The 1st player A starts with dribbling for a few meters and then makes a short pass to the 2nd player B. A then takes B's place.
  2. B plays a layoff with one touch to the 3rd player C.
  3. C also plays in one-touch to the 4th player D, who will lay it off into B's run.
  4. B then plays to the 5th player E, who will control, dribble for 8-10m, and then make a short pass to the 1st player of the next circuit.
  5. The passing sequence continues in the same way on the other side.

Progression: the exercise is conducted in exactly the same way, but the last player will make a long pass instead of finishing with dribbling and a short pass.
