Combination Play and Sprints

Improve players' ability to turn, combine, and move at speed, finishing with a sprint and change of direction

• Set up the pitch in four mirrored manners (as shown). • Players work in pairs • Each sequence includes: ◦ A dribble up to the middle mannequin ◦ A turn and pass back to the starting point to a partner ◦ A sprint to the cone and then a change of direction to the opposite queue. • All four stations run simultaneously. • Encourage different passing combinations (e.g. bounce, overlap, double pass) at each corner to keep players mentally engaged.
