Why use it
This practice improves the technique of passing, receiving and combination play in attack
Set up
You need balls, bibs, and cones. Create an area 15 x 15 yards. We used 5 players in the session.
How to do it
Start your players with 3 at cone A and 1 at the other two cones. The player at A starts with a pass to B then sprints towards B who returns the ball, runs around the cone to receive it back from A. Player B now passes to C who returns it, runs around the cone and gets a pass from B then dribbles back to the start. Keep the movement going with the next player quickly starting immediately player C gets back to the start. A moves to B, B moves to C and C goes back to the start. Try cone A in different positions and playing both ways.
Technique
This needs accurate well weighted passing and quick movement to get into position
1. The ball starts with the player at A passing to player B, who returns the pass then runs around the cone
2. Player B receives the ball back from A and moves towards the player at C
3. Player B passes to C gets the ball back while C runs around the cone and then receives the ball back from player B
4. Player C then dribbles back to the start
5. Move cone A to the other side of the area and play the first ball to player C and go that way round
