Instructions

Part 1: Passing Combination Drill

• Striker starts by laying the ball off with one touch.

• The attacking midfielder times their run to receive a through pass.

• Finish with one touch on goal.

• Rotate roles after every attempt.

Progression:

• Introduce a defender to add pressure.

• Allow for a 1v1 scenario after the midfielder receives the ball.

Part 2: 4v2 Rondo with Transition

• Set up a grid with four reds (possessors) and two chasers.

• Reds aim to complete five consecutive passes.

• After five passes, they transition to attack the main goal.

• If chasers win possession, they counterattack and score in the small goals.

Progression:

• Reduce the space to increase difficulty.

• Increase the number of chasers for more pressure.

• Introduce an additional defender in the attacking transition phase.
