🔧 How to set up the activity: Set up a 6x6 yard square with a gate on one side and coloured cones on the other 3 sides Coach has a ball at the side of the gate ⚽ Activity: Coach passes through gate, player controls and returns first touch or second touch. Vary passes – ground, lofted, firm, soft. Player then moves to touch a cone – as the player touches the cone the coach plays a pass and the player returns a pass. The player then moves to touch another cone and the cycle continues. Add “colour call” so the player is reacting to a call from the coach 3–4 rounds of 8 passes each. ✅ Coaching points: First touch into space, away from cone. Adjust body shape early to face target. Quality of return pass – firm, accurate, with proper technique.
