Turning and Passing
This soccer speed drill emphasises developing speed and turning, changing direction after passing a ball.
Developing reaction ability and decision making.
Organisation
Small goal is placed approximately 12 meters apart from the starting position which is signed by two small cones.
Two balls are placed onto the starting line.
In the other direction there is a stick about 5-6 meters apart as shown.
(In exercise 2 we use two small goals and two different colored cones to identify them.) Inactive (resting) players are placed next to the goals to collect the balls.
Players perform the exercise by turns.
