Activity Flow
1. Player A passes to player B
2. Player B then passes directly back to player A
3. Player A receives the pass and passes to player C
4. Player C receives the ball ideally with the first touch and try to score with the second touch on the mini-goal (based on level of the players)
5. Then Player C performs the coordination exercise along the side of the field and get back to the starting position of the other group
6. Player A is moving the position B and player B is moving to position C
7. After the first pass, the second group starts the exercise - same pattern
8. Possible to do a competition (read variations)
Organization
1. Ten cones, five on each side, 1 coordination ladder on each side
2. Passing distance - for example 10m between each cone
3. Players assigned to their positions
4. Mini goal across the starting position on the left and right side
Coaching Points
1. Passing - Awareness / Orientation - Before selecting check over your shoulder to see where the space, opponents and your teammates are on the field
2. Passing - Speed of the Pass - Quickly to allow team mate to turn, slowly to allow team mate to protect the ball or play one touch)
3. Passing - Accuracy of the Pass - In front if no opponent near, behind if opponent close
4. Passing - Type of Pass - Inside of foot to ensure accuracy or spin, laces for longer passes, outside of foot when under pressure or to shape away from opponent
Variations
1. Easier - decrease passing distance especially the distance to the mini-goal (should be a distance, where all my players can score on a regular base - success is important)
2. Easier - no limitation of touches before scoring on the mini-goal
3. Competition - Two teams staying together, they have 10 actions - How many goals can they score?
4. Harder - strict limitation of touches before scoring on the mini-goal (one-two)
5. Harder - increase passing distance (keep the motivation as high as possible - they need full focus to score)
