Activity Flow:
1. Two players face each other and play flat balls to each other
2. A precise ball should be played through the field
3. No soft passes but also no extra hard passes
4. With the first touch, the ball must be taken diagonally to the side in order to pass back to the “opponent” with the second touch
5. The first touch can be made in both directions, opponents must always orientate themselves and position themselves quickly
6. No touching of cones allowed
7. Keep it clean – always two touches
8. The ball must always be played through two cone gates
Organisation:
1. 1 ball
2. 4 cones
3. 5x5m playing field
4. Possible set-up in Champions League mode – 4 cones and 1 ball per pitch
Coaching Points:
1. Ball control
Awareness/Orientation – Look over your shoulder before receiving the ball to see where the space, opponents and teammates are on the pitch
Direction of first touch – Keep the ball moving, the ball should always be moving, first touch in the direction of the next action, away from the opponent or into open space
Follow-up/connection action – Next action possible after first touch (ball must be on the right foot, if possible no bouncing and easy to convert)
Body position/posture when receiving the ball – Position your body for the first touch (body is behind the ball, body is over the ball, body weight does not fall backwards)
Deception – Deceive your opponent using your body or changing speed/direction before or at the moment you control the ball
Variations:
1. Easier – More than two touches allowed
2. Variation – make the field larger or smaller – as larger the field, as easier is the passing game – as smaller the field, as easier is the first touch
3. Competition – League mode with several players
4. Harder – leg instruction (example: both feet must be used in one action, first touch right – pass left)
