How it's set up

This activation practice takes place in a 25 by 25-yard area and focuses on developing players speed, passing and finishing. We setup by creating two identical circuits on each side of the area, with players split into two teams of 4 players each. Both sides will work at the same time. To begin, the coaches will pass the ball to the first players who will set it back for their teammates. The player who set back will then sprint outside the poles and receive a through ball. They will then drive through the cones and finish in the mini goals. Players will jog back to the start station after finishing.
