Barcelona Alternative Passing Rotations
This practice is great for developing the passing and rotation work show in others though incorporates two central players that could work as a 9 & 10, 4 & 8 or 5 & 6 where as the outside players movement and angels will represent any wide player (2, 7, 3 or 11).
Session starts by the ball going across the central zone to the furthest Green (or Yellow) player who sets for the other Green (or Yellow) player to pass back out. The ball the transfers across the area to the top players. The Green and Yellow players will then switch zones and perform the same movements. Check the movements so that they arrive when the ball is traveling rather then finding themselves standing still.
This session will develop the following areas
- Quick Passing and rotations
- Angles to receive
- Crossing and Finishing Principles
You can progress the following ways:
- Change the direction of the practice to suit both feet
- Add in goals at either end to build it into a function practice
- Bring in defensive players instead of mannequins/cones (game realism)
