Organisation

Five cones are used to mark players' positions as shown. Mannequins are also placed to mark the passing channels. Distances must be created adequate to the given age-group.

There are two fixed players and three other positions A, B and C.

Players change their positions continuously between these positions while the progression is performed. Fixed players are changed periodically.

Description and Graphics

The soccer passing drill is started by one of the fixed players. A quick, short one-two pass is performed (1,2) with Player A. After knocking the ball back to the fixed mate, Player A turns and runs into space bypassing the mannequin. The fixed player delivers a fast, sharp pass (3) to the player in Position B. Player in position B receives the ball behind the mannequin and tries to make a well weighted pass (4) between the mannequins in the best angle in front of Player A. He passes (5) to the other sided fixed player and overlaps him to run into position B. The progression continues the same way to the other direction.
