This week's exercises are from our book, 'Dutch Total Football'

Rectangle Lay off

Set up

The same as drill #1

Same rotation as drill #1

Organization

The first pass is played into the middle player, who then lays the ball off to the starting player, who then passes to the corner player. The corner player will check and receive the pass on the go and continue with a dribble andfinish with a pass.

Coaching Points

  • The pass to the center player should be to inside foot.
  • The layoff pass must be properly weighted
  • Receive the layoff pass allowing it to come across your body
  • The pass to the corner player should timed to the run and played to the running stride of the player
