Practice Breakdown: 

Number of Players: 4 | Pitch size: 10x10

  • This high-intensity practice combines speed, agility, and technical skills. Players compete head-to-head in a race to get to the central ball. Before reaching the ball, they must complete a series of technical skills—specifically 1-touch passing—while sprinting quickly around a pre-defined route. The route consists of poles set up in a square, and players must navigate this circuit as part of the race.

    The challenge lies in executing precise technical movements while maintaining maximum speed and agility during the race.

  • • Quick Feet & Agility: Emphasize rapid footwork during the sprint, particularly when navigating around the poles. Encourage players to stay light and quick on their feet.

    • 1-Touch Passing Accuracy: Players must perform the 1-touch passing with accuracy while maintaining a high tempo. Ensure the weight and direction of each pass are deliberate.

    • Explosive Sprinting: After each skill or pass, players should explode out of the turn with maximum acceleration, staying low and driving through the line.

    • Recovery Post-Sprint: Encourage controlled deceleration after the sprint to ensure players can shift directions quickly without losing balance or form.

  • Increase Technical Demands:

    Increase the technical complexity by adding more challenging skills (e.g., ball manipulation, dribbling through cones) before players reach the ball.

    Focus: Elevates the difficulty, improving ball control under pressure and maintaining high intensity throughout the drill.
