Ideal for youth soccer, this exercise, seemingly very simple, will allow your players to work on their awareness and passing quality.
Using cones, set up triangles of approximately 15m per side, so that the triangles overlap. Then form teams of 4 players: 1 player at each cone and the last player at the first cone (with the ball).
The sequence will proceed as follows:
- The 1st player A will play to the 2nd player B.
- The latter controls, then plays to the 3rd player C.
- C controls and then makes a pass to the 4th player D, and so on.
- A takes B's place, B takes C's place, and C returns to the starting point.
Progression
Once the sequence is well established, you can offer several variations to your players:
- Change the direction of play arbitrarily in the middle of the sequence.
- Add double one-two passes after each pass to make the exercise even more challenging.
- Modify the position of the cones to create even more “crossing” between the players.
Very simple in appearance, this exercise is ideal for working on game awareness, due to the placement and overlapping of the different triangles. The game awareness in this exercise centered around a passing sequence will help players better read ball trajectories and anticipate the movements of their opponents as well as those of their teammates.
