Organization
Inside the pitch create an equilateral triangle with sides of 10 meters. Players place themselves near the verteces (A, B, C). One of them starts with the ball near their feet. In order to involve the whole team you can create other triangles.
Description
- At the coach's signal, player A passes the ball to B that is faking to lose the marker with a long-short counter movement (movement 1)
- Player B, once received the ball, with one touch passes it back to A that is now supporting inside the triangle (movement 2)
- Player A closes one-two movement passing back to B (movement 3)
- B, controlling the ball, creates the same sequence with player C
- Player C, after one-two movement with B, drives the ball towards the starting point and the drill starts again
- Players always take over from the teammate whom they pass the ball (they follow the exercise rotation)
Rules
- After each series change the drill's rotation direction: the first series is clockwise, the second anti-clockwise and so on
- Perform this drill with two ball touches maximum, with high intensity transmissions and good timing
Variations
- Increase the triangle's dimension
- With more player per triangle (e.g. 6) work with two balls at the same time
Coaching Points
- Encourage players to perform the drill with high rythm and intensity and passing the ball quickly
- Look after the right timing of the movements
- This drill can be used as a warm-up for First team and U18 teams, while it can be used during training session for U17 and U15
