      Improving passing precision during running movements (TU 2)

       Description:

      The objective of this training unit is to improve the passing precision during running movements, in particular. Following warm-up consisting of combined running moves and passing variants and a short game, the players practice passing while running at full speed during the ball familiarization phase. The goalkeeper warm-up shooting and the subsequent series of shots also focus on playing passes while running at full speed. A second series of shots combines double passes on a defined running path with quick passes in direction of the goal. Finally, the players practice playing precise passes under pressure in a small group game and a closing game.

      The training unit consists of the following key exercises:

      - Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes)

      - Short game (15/25)

      - Ball familiarization (10/35)

      - Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/45)

      - Offense/Series of shots (10/55)

      - Offense/Series of shots (15/70)

      - Offense/Small groups (10/80)

      - Closing game (10/90)

       Training unit total time: 90 min.

      TU 2-1 Warm-up/Stretching (10/10)

       Course:

      - The players each get a number which they should memorize.

      - The players crisscross the entire half of the court and pass a ball in the given order (1-2-3-4... – the last player passes back to 1).

      - After a while, the players get a second ball (of another color/design) which must be passed in the same order, as a bounce pass, however.

      - After a while, the players get a third ball (of another color/design) which must be passed in the same order, with both hands over the head, however.

      - Once coach whistles, the passing order is reversed.

      Afterwards, the players perform stretching/mobilization exercises together.

      TU 2-2 Short game (15/25)

       Setting:

      - Position two large vaulting boxes diagonally and use cones to define the shooting line.

       Course:

      - Two teams play against each other.

      - By playing quick passes (A and B) and moving in a well-coordinated manner (C), the team in ball possession tries to put a player in a good shooting position (D).

      - The team scores if the shooting player hits one side of the vaulting box.

      - The shooting player and the defending players are not allowed to step into the defined area around the vaulting box.

      - Following each shooting attempt, the other team gets the ball and starts an attack on the opposite vaulting box.

      - As soon as one of the teams has scored two (three) times, remove one of the intermediate parts of the vaulting box.

      - The team that takes down their vaulting box first wins the game.

      

Following a shooting attempt, the players should adjust immediately and start an attack on the opposite vaulting box.

      TU 2-3 Ball familiarization (10/35)

       Setting:

      - Position a ball box with lots of handballs on the center line and an empty ball box on the goal line.

      - Define the feeding/receiving positions with cones.

       Course:

      -

passes to

(A), starts to sprint (B), and receives a return pass into his running path (C).

      - Without slowing down, if possible, and within a three-step limit (no dribbling),

passes the ball to

(D).
