Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Technical Agility Triangle

Technical Agility Triangle (15 mins)

Set Up:

Cones set up in a triangle, 10 yards apart. Cones in between the traingle 5 yards from the "border". two cone gate set up 5-10 yards from the corner of the triangle.

Objective:

Passing/Recieving, speed of play, technical ability

Time:

10 - 15 mins

How:

Two players start at the end of the traingle and play a one touch pass from the person at the gate. Players then go around the cone and run to the opposite side where the player will play them a header ball. Player then moves to the left and does another one touch pass and repeats the process. Players have to work at turning tightly around the cone accelerating with speed to the opposide side and technical ability with their passing and headers.

Alternatives:

Switch directions in which the players go

Two touch passes, roll with sole to opposite foot pass, volleys instead of headers

Coaching Points:

Good technique (weight and speed of pass)

Pace of play (Game Speed)

Be Competitive

Reaction

Turn tightly around cones (plant foot and push the ground away, short steps to get around quickly)
