Improving passing precision during running movements (TU 2)

Improving passing precision during running movements (TU 2)

Description:

The objective of this training unit is to improve the passing precision during running movements, in particular. Following warm-up consisting of combined running moves and passing variants and a short game, the players practice passing while running at full speed during the ball familiarization phase. The goalkeeper warm-up shooting and the subsequent series of shots also focus on playing passes while running at full speed. A second series of shots combines double passes on a defined running path with quick passes in direction of the goal. Finally, the players practice playing precise passes under pressure in a small group game and a closing game.

The training unit consists of the following key exercises:

- Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes)

- Short game (15/25)

- Ball familiarization (10/35)

- Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/45)

- Offense/Series of shots (10/55)

- Offense/Series of shots (15/70)

- Offense/Small groups (10/80)

- Closing game (10/90)

TU 2-1 Warm-up/Stretching (10/10)

Course:

- The players each get a number which they should memorize.

- The players crisscross the entire half of the court and pass a ball in the given order (1-2-3-4... – the last player passes back to 1).

- After a while, the players get a second ball (of another color/design) which must be passed in the same order, as a bounce pass, however.

- After a while, the players get a third ball (of another color/design) which must be passed in the same order, with both hands over the head, however.

- Once coach whistles, the passing order is reversed.

Afterwards, the players perform stretching/mobilization exercises together.
