Drill Quick Glance
This is the first series to a great one-touch passing combination warmup drill with a light dribble. This is a passing pattern drill that focuses on one-touch passing, receiving, movement off the ball with touches on the ball.
Drill setup
- With cones or training sticks, create a grid approximately 20x20 yards.
- Place two to three training sticks down the middle of the grid.
- Place a starting cone about 5 yards from the grid in the middle of the grid.
- Start a player at each of the 4 corners of the grid.
- The remaining players will line up behind the start cone; each with a ball.
Drill Coaching Points
- Passes must be precise and to the feet of the receiving player.
- Good movement off the ball to create space and time the passes.
- Play in one-touch if possible. Slowing the drill to two-touches will allow players to get familiar with the pattern, and pace of the passes.
- If a bad pass is given, adjust accordingly and continue the drill.
