This week's exercises are from our Coaching Soccer Weekly Podcast and focuses on running with the ball
Dribble and Pass
Organization-Use squares on one end of the field-Line of player on opposite sides of the front cones-One ball at the front of each line-Six players in each line allows time for recovery
Description-The first player in each line runs with the ball toward the right side of the ‘gate’ in front of the other line-The ball is passed through the gate to the next player in line-Two balls are being run simultaneously
Coaching Points-Get the ball out of your feet-Use the three small toes for touches-Don’t break your stride-Control the ball before passing through-Inside of far foot or outside of near foot
Progression-After passing the ball the player chases the player now running with the ball-Tries to run in front of him-Or Tries to tag him-Don’t stop the pattern.
