SD Seniors Drills Running Into Space
OBJECTIVE:
To develop players' skill at running onto the ball at pace and with depth.
EQUIPMENT:
One ball per group and 10 cones.
GROUP SIZE:
10 in each group.
AREA:
25m x 50m.
DRILL EXPLANATION:
- Two lines of players are formed so that each player in Team A stands behind and in between two players in Team B.
- The ball travels across Team A and, when the ball reaches the last player in Team A, the ball is popped up to a player in Team B as they surge through.
- Team B then run in a line in front of Team A and pass the ball along the line, with Team A running behind and in between them.
COACHING POINTS:
• When passing the ball, the emphasis should be on the speed of passing.
• The team that runs through should do so at pace.
• Communication is vital among all players.
