Ball Mastery on the Move | Technique on the Move + Reading When to Go Wide

Overview

  • 12 players, 30 x 20m field
  • Keep the ball rolling through the middle and switch out to both flanks over and over
  • Players lean on the spacing between the central group and the wide men to link up
  • Handle the ball on the move so you build fitness at the same time

Objectives

  • Build rock-solid ball control through the middle
  • Keep first touch and passing sharp even as the running piles up
  • Read when and when not to switch it wide, and hit the timing
  • Tie in overlapping runs so the middle and the wide men connect

Setup

This one uses the link between the middle and both flanks to build ball skill and fitness inside constant movement.

1)Six players in the middle keep the ball with pass-and-move, non-stop.

2)The central players read where the wide men are and pick the right moment to switch it out to the flank.

3)Three wide players take the ball and either play it straight back into the middle or drive at it themselves.

4)Keep this cycle going so everyone covers real distance while holding onto the ball.
