This drill teaches first touch and passing accuracy while building movement. Kids learn to receive, turn, and pass in one motion.
Equipment needed: Four cones, 4-8 kids in groups of four, 2-3 soccer balls per group.
Setup: Mark a 10-by-10-yard square with cones. Four kids stand at each cone, one ball to start.
How to run it:
- Kid at cone 1 passes to Kid at cone 2.
- Kid at cone 2 receives, turns, and passes to Kid at cone 3.
- Kid at cone 3 receives, turns, and passes to Kid at cone 4.
- Kid at cone 4 receives, turns, and passes back to cone 1.
- After each pass, the passer follows the pass and takes the next kid’s spot (rotates clockwise).
- Do this for five minutes continuous, building rhythm.
What to look for: Reception and touch. Good first touch is the whole game. A bad first touch forces a bad pass.
