Welcome to the FineSoccer Drills Newsletter. Today’s featured activity is a quick passing and receiving activity to be used as a warm up.
Start with two lines of cones with each cone 3 yards from the next. The two lines are 5 yards apart. There are two players in this activity and one ball.
The players are playing two touch and it starts with the player with the ball passing through the first hole to the second player.
The receiving player takes a touch to the side and then passes the ball through the next hole.
That player takes a touch to the side and then passes back through the next hole.
The players do this all the way till the end and then they do the same back.
There are many options you can add in this activity such as requiring the receiving touch to be done with the inside of the foot, the outside of the foot, with a Cruyff move, etc. You can also alter the distance of the cones from each other or the lines from each other.
You can time this activity to see which two players can get down and back quickest or which two players can get through the most cones in a set period of time.
Considering this is a simple warm up activity there are a lot of options you can add to keep this fresh and effective.
Have a great day!
