Why Use This Drill?
The 3 player passing drill offers a straightforward method for players to train two fundamental football skills: passing and dribbling. It’s particularly beneficial for beginners and young players seeking to grasp the basics of these essential techniques in an easy way.
How It Works
1. Variation (Dribbling With The Ball)
In this variation, players emphasize simple dribbling maneuvers before executing a pass to the next player. The objective is to guide the ball through the two closest cones with a controlled first touch and then advance freely to make the pass.
2. Variation (One-Two Passing Combination)
In this variation, players focus on first-time passing and one-two passing combinations. Maintaining a high tempo throughout the drill ensures that players are consistently on the move and prepared to receive the next pass.
Other Key Points:
- Try to explore various dribbling techniques that align with your team’s skill level.
- It is essential for the player to stay alert and ready to receive the ball.
- The drill should be seen as inspiration. So feel free to adapt the drill to suit your team’s specific needs or focus areas.
