⚽ 5 PLAYER - 3 BALLS - ROTATING PASSING AWARENESS DRILL
This drill utilizes a square grid with an extra player in the middle and focuses on technical passing, movement, and cognitive awareness.
This drill is used to create a high intensity of passing and receiving and the center player needs high awareness of the outside player without the ball, so he or she can receive ball, rotate directly and pass the ball.

🥅 Setup
◼️Grid: A square-shaped grid (size is adaptable based on age/skill).
◼️Players: 5 players (4 on the outside, 1 in the center).
◼️Balls: 3 players on the outside with ball. There is always 1 player without a ball
◼️Markers: 4 cones/markers to setup the square. 8 cones/markers to setup the position for the outside players

🏃 Execution (As seen in the video)
◼️ The player in the center get's the ball passed in from een outside player
◼️ The player in the center has to pass the ball to the outside player without a ball
◼️ Important: The player in the center has constantly to be aware where the player is without a ball
◼️ In this video the center moves counter clockwise to receive a ball (or make own variations)
◼️ Switch the players after a good amount of receiving and passes

🧠 Focus / Coaching Points
◼️ Passing Quality: Sharp, accurate passes (inside of the foot).
◼️ Timing of Movement: Players must time their movement immediately after the pass to create new space and maintain the rotation.
◼️ Awareness/Decision-Making: Players must constantly scan to see where the open players are, where their next movement should be, and who is rotating. The center player, in particular, needs high awareness to direct the play.
◼️ Communication: Players should communicate their intent to pass or move.
