|
Players stand on a cone each. Coach begins on one cone and passes it to one of the players, then removes themselves from the grid. |
|||
1 more cone is laid out than the number or players, this ensures there is always an empty cone. The coach begins on the extra cone and once the ball is played by the coach they drop out. When the ball is passed on the passer must leave their cone and sprint to the one they received the pass from. The further apart the cones the more intense the running and the greater requirement for better passing.
The quality of the passing determines how well the session flows. If the play must stop every few moments to retrieve a ball then this will not be a very intense session. Passes should be accurate, correctly weighted and, ideally, along the ground.
