Oriented control: give and go

The drill, planned as an activation and technical warm-up, is divided into two phases: PHASE A and PHASE B. It follows a progression in both technical difficulty and increased conditional load.

• PHASE A:
  • The 4 players positioned in the four mini squares have one ball each (work with four balls at the same time)
  • They start dribbling, all in the same direction, reaching the mannequin in front of them
  • Upon reaching the mannequin they scoop up the ball with the feet and execute an oriented control moving outside into the free space (“STOP” controls can be executed in various ways: of inside foot, outside foot, etc.).
  • After the stop they pass the ball inside the mini square in front of them to the second player who has occupied it in the meantime and run behind the same mini square waiting for their turn
  • The second player of the pair who receives the ball performs an oriented control over the cone that is in the center of the mini square
  • After controlling the ball, the player starts dribbling, repeating the same sequence 

Phase A

• PHASE B:
  • Only 2 players of the 4 positioned in the mini squares start with the ball (those positioned at opposite vertices of the workstation)
  • In ball conduction they face the mannequin in the center of the side in front of them and pass it with a feint or dribble
  • Immediately afterwards they pass the ball to the player positioned inside the next mini-square facing them by positioning themselves in a line outside it waiting for their turn
  • The player, to whom the ball has been passed, performs an oriented control over the central cone positioned in the mini square and starts again in ball conduction to face the next mannequin and so on

Phase B
