![]() Reverse the direction so both feet are used. Thus, we are moving the ball out of the feet with this touch to the right, to pass to player 3 on the 2nd touch, and so on around the diamond. Player 2 adopts an open stance (half turned) to do this and cushions the ball with their right foot, into the direction it has to go. Player 2 will control it with the inside of the right foot i.e. Player 1 moves the ball from the left to the right side of the cone and passes it firmly to player 2. The latter drills on this sequence have to be used ONLY with players with a high soccer IQ at these ages but likely you will have several who can do it successfully. This drill training also leads into the dynamic movement training where players have freedom of movement and the movements are not predetermined as with many drills. Playing one touch means he has to make the decision more quickly, you may begin with two touches to make it easier to gain initial success with these awareness drills.ĭevelop these decision making ideas between the developmental stages of learning forming the middle link between technique training and tactical training. So, as the ball is travelling to the receiver he is forced to assess his options early so that when he receives the ball he is already aware and able to make the correct decision. When defenders are introduced they are told to play passively and can only press, not take the ball. The benefit of this training is it is “drill orientated” so is easier to perform, players being in fairly static positions, and so they can have success with no pressure of having the ball taken off them. This training also forces the receiving player to identify his options BEFORE he receives the ball, which is what awareness training is all about. It helps develop peripheral vision (awareness) and stimulates quick reflexes making players PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE. Initially the receiving player always has his options IN FRONT OF HIM but as the drills become more sophisticated the receiving player has to have greater peripheral vision to be successful with situations changing BEHIND HIM that will affect his decision making. This is quite an easy way to develop and be successful at one touch passing and decision making (developing the SKILL FACTOR). ![]() ![]() This Is Essentially Training The Mind For Fast Decision Making ![]()
