Mobility, Triangle |
Place 4 cones inside the playing area to form a diamond. Inside the diamond place 2 dumbies (as shown in the figure). Arrange a player near each cone (A,B,C, and D). Place a pole about 1 meter behind each cone. Player A starts with the ball. Place a speed ladder and 4 small hurdles as shown in the figure.
- Exercise development:
- Player B receives the pass from player A after a countermove (checks away then towards the ball)
- Player B passes back to A moving to A1
- A passes the ball to C in front of him and performing a countermove. Player B moves at the speed ladder to B1
- Player D after a countermove moves to receive the diagonal pass by player C. Player A moves to A2 replacing player B
- Player D passes back to C proposing to C1
- Player C passes to teammate B while D overcomes the 4 small hurdles with a high knees run to D1
- Player C moves to C2 replacing player D
- Player B after controlling the ball, starts again the exercise
- Invert the starting direction at each series
- Focus on the quality of passes (strength and direction)
- Reduce gradually the preparation time between receiving and passing
- Keep a high tempo
