Soccer drill: open pass shape
Suitable for the following techniques: passing
Open pass shape
1st exercise:
- Player A plays the ball in to B and runs to B's position.
- Player B is open turned takes it and passes it to Player C and so on.
- Focal point 1 playing in: the ball must be hit in the middle so that it stays low.
- The correct technique for this is to lift your shooting leg slightly.
- Focal point 2 receiving: The player who has to receive the ball should not be facing the ball but rather, as they say, turned open. You create this by positioning your body towards the player you have to pass to and your face is facing the ball. Playing the ball around clockwise, the ball is taken on with the left and I play on with the right. other way round take on with the right and play on with the left.
- If you notice that it is too easy, first increase the tempo. If that also proves too easy then you take out the takeover and they have to pass the ball directly.
2nd exercise:
- Player B asks for the ball, player A plays into player B. Then B drops the ball to player A who then passes it on to player C.
- Player C then drops it to player B and then player B plays it diagonally to player D and so on.
Points of attention:
- The player who plays the ball in must move on after playing in so that he asks for the ball in the middle between the pawns
- Not further because then the cross pass effect is gone.
- The player who bounces the ball back runs around his own pawn to ask for the ball again in the middle.
- It is imperative that this player makes the correct turn when rebounding so that he keeps his eyes on the ball.
- His turn should be short toward the box and not off the play.
