The Cross Shape Passing Drill goes beyond just passing; it also incorporates dribbling and first-touch skills. This makes it an excellent way to combine these three elements into a single drill. The drill is easy to understand, and with three different variations, it becomes engaging and enjoyable for the players.
The drill is built around the player in the middle, who works with the four outer players through dribbling, one-two passes and first touches. Rotate the player in the middle every 1-2 minutes.
The middle player begins with the ball, dribbles out to one of the outer players, and executes a one-two passing combination. Afterward, the middle player takes the ball around the middle cone and moves out to a new player. Rotate the player in the middle every 1-2 minutes.
The middle player starts with the ball, dribbles out to one of the outer players, and makes a one-two passing combination. They then switch positions, with the outer player moving into the middle and finding a new outer player.
The ball begins with one of the outer players. The ball is passed to the middle player, who takes a directional first touch and passes to a new outer player. The initial outer player and middle player switch positions, ensuring there’s always a new player in the middle after each passing sequence.
