Description

Create a square using 4 cones.

Place at least one player at each of the 4 cones and one extra at the starting cone. Additional players can be placed behind any of the cones.

  1. The player with the ball passes to the player at the next cone and then moves towards that cone.
  2. The receiver plays the ball back and moves to the other side of the cone.
  3. The starting player completes the one-two pass around the cone.

Move to the next cone after each passing combination.


Coaching Points

  1. Create a good passing angle before asking for the ball.
  2. Time the return pass so the runner receives in stride.
  3. Move immediately after passing; do not stand still and watch.
  4. Keep the tempo high, but prioritize accuracy and clean technique over speed.

Progressions

  1. Add a second ball to increase scanning, communication, and tempo.
  2. Change passing direction.
  3. Progress to one-touch passing for more advanced players.
  4. Mandate that players use only their weaker foot for passing and/or receiving.
