Setup:

  • Shape: As showed in the video.

  • Stations: Players positioned at each cone.

  • Distance: Adjust the spacing (10–15 meters) based on age and skill level.

Objective:

  • To combine passing accuracy with controlled dribbling while introducing spatial awareness and avoiding collisions.

Rules:

  • Passing: Players pass diagonally to the next station.

  • Dribbling: At the last station, the player dribbles the ball to the first station, crossing through the middle of the setup.

  • Movement: After passing, players follow their pass to the next cone.

  • Collision Avoidance: Players must be aware of the dribbler crossing through the center to avoid collisions.

Key Coaching Points:

  • Passing Technique:

    • Focus on firm, accurate passes to the receiving player's correct foot.

  • Dribbling Control:

    • Keep the ball close and use small touches to navigate through the center.

  • Scanning:

    • Encourage players to check their surroundings before passing or dribbling.

  • Timing:

    • Coordinate movements to avoid hitting the dribbler in the middle.

  • Body Positioning:

    • Stay open to the field and prepare for the next pass
