Drill.
Warm-up both physically and mentally.
Objective.
To prepare the players to perform physically, and mentally to their optimum levels.
1. Set up a pitch within a pitch, dependant on the physical condition of your players. For example a 10-metre square within a 20-metre square.
All of the players within the inner pitch A, in the outer pitch B put hurdles, medicine balls, poles, slalom courses or whatever equipment you have at hand.
2. The players are numbered 1-10 (or however many players you have).
Number 1 passes to number 2, 2 to 3 and so on and the last player back to number 1.
a. From hand to hand.
b. From foot to foot on the floor one touch.
c. One touch, left foot only.
d. One touch, right foot only.
As soon as the player has passed the ball then he must undertake a task before he can rejoin the inner pitch again.
e. Sprint and touch any pole on the outer pitch.
f. Sprint and jump over any hurdle on the outer pitch.
g. Sprint to the outer pitch and with any ball, juggle for 20 touches, etc.
3. This time the players are not numbered, the player who calls for the ball, receives the pass and then he must undertake a task before he can rejoin the inner pitch again.
h. Sprint and touch any 2 different poles on the outer pitch.
i. Sprint and jump over any hurdle and touch a pole on the outer pitch.
j. Sprint to the outer pitch and with any ball, juggle for 20 touches, and then jump over 2 different hurdles etc.
4. The players are numbered 1-10 (or however many players you have). Number 1 passes to number 2, 2 to 3 and so on and the last player back to number 1, but this time there are 2 balls going around the pitch, the only rule is that the balls never touch.
k. From hand to hand.
l. From foot to foot on the floor one touch.
m. One touch, left foot only.
n. One touch, right foot only.
As soon as the player has passed the ball then he must undertake a task before he can rejoin the inner pitch again.
5. This time the players are not numbered, but this time there are 2 balls going around the pitch, the only rule is that the balls never touch. Sprint and touch any 2 different poles on the outer pitch.
o. Sprint and jump over any hurdle and touch a pole on the outer pitch.
p. Sprint to the outer pitch and with any ball, juggle for 20 touches, and then jump over 2 different hurdles etc.
This is one of my all time favourite drills, and you can introduce as many balls, or tasks as you require.
I have used this drill in numerous countries, at clubs like FC Porto, Panathinaikos, Arsenal, Sporting Lisbon, AEK Athens, and every player loves it.
