Braiding 2

Soccer drill procedure

Here we go! The braid starts and, from this point on, it really is a good drill. It’s great, for the players and the coach alike, when this drill works and it looks more difficult than it really is.

Description

The ball should be on the center position when the drill begins. The ball is first passed from the middle player to the outside position; after that, the middle position disappears. The passer follows the ball and runs around the receiver. The receiver passes the ball to the other side. The drill continues on like this. After every run, the players swap positions.
