Content

  • No. 1 or goalkeeper takes a goal kick
  • No. 2 takes the ball
  • No. 2 gives a depth pass on no. 3
  • No. 3 plays in on no. 4 this comes in the ball
  • No. 4 makes room for the incoming player
  • No. 3 plays no. 5 to
  • No. 5 takes the ball and scores


Structure of the exercise form

  • At number 1 two players with a ball
  • At 2, 3 and 5 three players
  • Move from 1 to 5
  • If there is no goalkeeper then 5 goes on goal
  • Increasing/reducing distances
  • Responding to the outer leg
  • Eye contact and getting into the ball

  • In case of delay, player 1 takes the goal kick


Coaching

  • When No. 1 has control over the ball, only then come into the ball
  • At no. 4 first away from the ball and then into the ball
  • Ensuring that one does not fall short of each other that's easy to defend

passing-and-sprinting

Field setup:

  • Place 2 x 4 x 2 pilons next to each other so that two streets of pilons are formed.


The course of play:

  • The players have to try to pass exactly through the pilon street and then sprint through it after the ball. 
  • Another player (white) receives the ball and dribbles to the other street. 
  • There this player does exactly the same towards player 3.
  • Player 3 starts again on the same spot as player 1.


Laws of the Game:

  • The ball must pass through the pilon street.
  • If you hit a pilon, you have to sprint to straighten the pilon and try again.
  • The ball must pass all pilons before the receiving player can take it.



  • Make sure you respond quickly and cleanly
  • Also pay attention to the ball and running line
drawing clean and fast
  • Exercise that can be used to practise short and long passing
  • Advanced players can play in one time
  • Each player moves to set up a 1-2
drawing Short and long passing
  • 1 passes to 2
  • 2 passes back on 1 and 1 plays on 3
  • 3 passes back on 2 and 2 plays on 4
  • ...
  • 6 passes back on 5 and 5 plays in depth on 6
  • 6 finishes off, gets the ball and joins the line


passing-and-finishing

  • Middle player speeds up to goal with ball at his foot and finishes on target
  • Returns to blue pilon (sprint), passes and gets the ball back from the player at the red pilon
  • Red takes the ball along the flank to the back line
  • Meanwhile the one that started goes back towards goal and asks the ball from other flank while running
  • Takes the ball on and finishes (outside the rectangle).
  • Right flank and attacker dive in the box and finish the cross coming from the left flank


finishing-and-condition

  • The following exercise contains a lot of speed, agility, coordination, passing and even duelling.
  • A speed exercise that can be done at any time of the training.
  • Any age group can do this exercise. There are enough variations possible that you can apply yourself.
  • With the younger and even the older groups the FUN aspect is also very pleasant.
  • You can apply this form of exercise to different distances. It is especially important to look at your age group and what you want to achieve.
  • Both players A leave with shoulder to shoulder until they're between the poles.
  • (1), They then accelerate around the pilon and go back to the stick
  • (2,3). Behind the stick, they go sideways over the hurdles
  • (4). Again they go behind the stick and accelerate forward to the stick that's the furthest away.
  • (5). Back to the other pole again
  • (6) to then get a ball played in from B
  • (7) on which A finishes on target
  • (8).Player who finishes first wins.
  • In the older ages you can have the loser do push-ups or do an extra job.
  • At younger ages you add up the points.
  • A takes the place of B and B goes to A.
  • As a variation, you can have players B throw up the ball so that A has to head the ball inside the goal.
  • As you can see, it is all about speed, agility and coordination
  • Whoever wins, it's always fun and hard work is done
  • Have fun with this speed exercise and let us know what you thought of it


speed-exercise

  • Both teams can score on an ordinary goal with goalkeeper
  • If the ball is out at the sides start at goalkeeper
  • Corner kicks are taken
  • Initially without offside


free-cross-4-versus-4

  • Normal rules of the game (competition)
  • Check that what has been learned is understood and applied in a match form
  • Has the objective been achieved?
  • To see the relationship between the solutions/possibilities offered in the previous exercise forms and a game (competition)
