What You’ll Need:
- Soccer balls (2)
- Cones (8)
Set Up:
- Mark a square area approximately 30 yards x 30 yards like in picture above.
- Place cones at each corner of the square.
- Divide your players into two teams of 5.
Drill Instructions:
- Each team positions itself in a square formation around opposite corners of the playing area.
- One player from each team starts with a ball at their feet.
- Begin with a diagonal pass from one team to the opposite corner.
- The receiving player controls the ball with one touch and passes diagonally to their teammate in the center of the square.
- The central player lays the ball off with one touch to the teammate making a run towards the opposite corner.
- This player receives and plays a one-touch pass back to the original starting position, restarting the combination.
- Teams alternate initiating the drill, keeping the tempo high.
- After a set time (e.g., 2 minutes), switch the directions of play (diagonally opposite corners).
Pro Tip:
- Encourage clear communication between players to anticipate passes and maintain a smooth flow.
- Introduce variations by calling for different passing techniques (ground pass, lofted pass).
- Increase difficulty by adding a neutral defender in the center who tries to disrupt the passing sequence (optional).
Benefits of this Pro Passing Drill:
