Set Up:
Four players set up inside of the small grid, starting at the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 passes diagonally across the grid to Player 2. Player 2 settles the pass and carries the ball towards Player 3. Player 3 runs towards Player 2, and they perform a takeover combination. After the combination, the drill is re-started with the next diagonal pass across the grid from Player 3 to Player 1.
Coaching Points:
1. Both players should accelerate out of the combination (or the fake).
2. Use eye contact, body language, and verbal commands to get your message across.
3. The dribbler keeps the ball on the outside of his foot before the exchange.
Progressions:
1. Fake the takeover, Player 2 dribbles across and re-starts the drill with a pass to Player 4.
