Speed work, one-two pass, dribble, and shooting

Another exercise used by Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich during a public training session, this circuit is ideal for working on agility: reaction time, concentration, and footwork. Your players will not be disappointed!

Animation: Speed work, one-two pass, dribble, and shooting
On a half-field, set up a small speed-agility circuit composed of 4 cones of different colors, 2 hurdles, and finally 4 ground bars. Then place a ball source, and 4 cones at the edge of the penalty area, parallel to the goal line.

Form 2 groups of 4 players. The first group positions at the entrance of the speed-agility circuit, and the second positions at the ball source.

The 1st player starts and must touch the colored cones according to your instructions (e.g., “blue, yellow, red!”). He then jumps over the hurdles before weaving through the ground bars with side steps. He finishes with a sprint to the marker, before turning around and performing a one-two pass with one of the players at the ball source. He retrieves the ball, dribbles, and finishes with a shot.

You can also set up the same circuit on the other side of the field to alternate shots with the right foot and left foot.
