Soccer drill: passing warm-up
Suitable for the following techniques: condition warming-up
Passing warm-up
- Make groups of 2 for this passing warm-up, with 1 ball per group of 2.
- The players with the ball line up on the sideline. The other players stand opposite, about 6 meters from the player with ball.
Execution:
- Player A dribbles forward, while player B jogs backwards across the field.
- As the players jog across the field, player A passes the ball to B, who passes it back to A, until they reach the opposite sideline.
- The roles reverse when the players reach the other side of the field. Player A then runs backwards to the line where they started.
Quality:
- Have passes alternate from right foot to left foot.
- Players should try to hit the ball once, only if it is really necessary can they hit it twice.
- Focus on quality over speed, it's not a race.
- Don't forget to encourage successes!
Progress:
- Play the ball on the thigh, bring the ball under control and volley back to partner.
- Play the ball on the chest, bring the ball under control and volley back to partner.
- Play the ball on the head, head the ball back to partner.
