This week's drills are from "Play Quicker" by David Williams. Circle drills like this are a part of the Video Library
Circle Drill #2
Where possible, if numbers and ability allow, introduce a second ball. Again this will promote a need to be aware of what is happening through the necessity to know where both balls are, and the desire to keep them apart.
For example, if A and B have exchanged passes then C and D need to be aware of where NOT to pass if they receive the ball from A. The second ball is being passed between E and F with G or H next to be involved so obviously this is a part of the circle to play away from.In the diagram above, if B were to receive the ball directing his next pass away from the other ball would be a priority.
Player interchange is an integral part of this work and there are a number of possibilities when it comes to the rotation of players on the outside of the CIRCLE.
