LOGINThree futsal drills
Use this trio of activities to help develop players’ passing and ball control and manipulation
WHY USE IT
Helps players develop their ability to control, manipulate and pass the ball.
practice 1
Set up: Players work in pairs, standing approximately 15 yards apart. A cone is placed in front of each player.
How to play: Players pass between each other. They control the ball with the sole of their foot and shift it with the same touch to the other side of the cone. They then pass back to their partner. Progress by changing the direction the ball is played and the foot players use.
practice 2
Set up: Players are in groups of four (one ball per group). Set up five cones in a diamond shape with one cone placed in the middle. Players stand next to a cone (one cone is free).
How to play: Players pass to each other, after which they move to the unoccupied cone. Make it more difficult by adding another ball.
