Improving passing precision when initiating the first wave (TU 7)
About the book
The objective of this training unit is to improve running paths, passing and the decision-making process during the first wave. After a warm-up running exercise, the subsequent short game already includes quick adjustment exercises and long passes. During the ball familiarization phase and the goalkeeper warm-up shooting, the players practice playing long passes before they combine several actions with first wave initiation in a series of shots. The closing small group exercises finally focus on making passing decisions.
The training unit consists of the following key exercises:
– Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes)
