Exercixe description
Organisation:
4 cones are set out as shown. One player starts at each cone. The ball starts at the first cone.
 
Process:
A starts the sequence by playing a one-two with player B and the playing a long ball on the ground to player C. C turns on the ball and tries to dribble past A with a trick. C and A then swap positions. The same sequence the runs in the other direction, starting with a one-two between players D and A.
 

Tip:
Start by running the drill slowly and then speed up. The receiver should always make a small, dynamic dummy run away from or to the side of the ball before receiving the ball. The drill can be extremely tiring when conducted quickly with only four players.

- Under time pressure, this drill is very game realistic.
- The reciever should call for the ball. - Pass and run timing is important
- Players often run faster than their pass.
- Don't forget the runs.
- Demand good pass precision. - Pass precision is more important than pass speed.
- Concentration must be held at all times.
- The players will need a certain amount of time until they have mastered the drill.
- A good touch and passing skills are required.
- Anticipation, awareness, reaction, speed of thought and movement with and without the ball are continuously required.

Field size:
30 x 10 m

Cone margins:
Distance vertical: 30m
Distance between the cones A and B / D and C: 6m
