Warm Up – Passing & Receiving Activation
Created using Tactics Manager
🔧 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.
