Passing Square

Description

The player will start inside a 5x5 yrd square. You should number the cones 1, 2, 3, and 4.

The coach should call out a number and the player should check to the number called and receive a pass. You should work at a high intensity in quick bursts.

There are a couple of ways to progress the drill:

  • Vary the service into the player (pass, volley, half-volley)
  • Change the action depending on the number called, e.g. 1=pass, 2=volley, 3=half-volley, 4=header

Key Coaching Points

  • Playing the pass on the front foot
  • Does the player understand when to take two-touches vs one touch?
  • If the player is required to take two-touches, make sure the first touch is kept inside of the square
