This new exercise is a technical warm-up I used during a training session with my U14 team.

The idea comes from the division of the double rhombus we use as “Erreà Academy”, making some basic technical exercises easier than those we usually run on the double rhombus.

The main goal is the technical improvement of the players, paying attention to an important principle of playwhich can be found in game combinations:

“man on” and “free”.

Dribbling, passing and receiving, changes of directions, feints and runs without the ball are combined along the perimeter of triangles.

The full black arrows are the passes, the wave arrows are the dribble directions, the dashed black arrows are the runs to receive and the dashed yellow arrows are the position change of the players.

Variation: Passes as throw-ins can be played to control volley balls.

Youth Academy
