FineSoccer Drill 50 This series of drills works on using a target player player and playing off of this target player. Before going any further, I would recomend checking out the Soccer Newsletter on target players by clicking here. Start with a layout of cones as shown below. The cones should be staggered approximately 8 yards apart
Player A checks into the space right in front of the first cone. Player B plays her the ball and then supports to her left. Player B plays the ball back to Player A and then spins off in the opposite direction. The two players then proceed through the cones playing one touch wall passes. If they make it through all of the cones without making a mistake they are rewarded with the opportunity to hit a shot. Any mistake (missing a cone, two touches, popping the ball up, spinning the wrong direction etc) means they must start over (or go to the back of the line). The keys here are for Player B to spin AWAY from the direction she passes (among other things this makes it more difficult for the defender to watch both the ball and the player in a real game). Also, the players want to make bent runs to meet the ball and then go away to increase the angle for the next pass. See the diagram below for an example of this drill.
