Combination Triangle

Soccer drill procedure

Construct two triangles some distance off to the left and right sides of the goal. Smaller triangles have a greater effect because they give us the ability to use some different passing combinations before the shot on goal. We have listed four combinations here, but we'll leave the rest up to your imagination.

Description

The players will perform the different passing combinations inside the triangle areas, always ending with a pass to the center and then a shot on goal.

Variations

As shown in the animation:

1. Blue passes to red, who sets up the ball for black to take a shot on goal
2. Red passes to blue, who passes to black, black passes back to red, who sets up the ball for black to shoot
3. Black passes to blue, who passes to red, who sets up the ball for black to shoot
4. Black passes to blue, who bounces the ball back to black, black passes to red, who sets up the ball for black to shoot

- Many other combinations are possible

Soccer coach tips

- Make sure players are making solid, accurate passes
