Soccer warm up drill for link up play

In this soccer warm-up drill players must combine to complete a move. The drill is based on a pair of players in the centre of a 20 x 20 yard square and each pair should be in the centre for a minute.

How to set up the drill

There are two players inside the square and four players outside. The sequence of play must start with an outside player and end with an outside player after the two players in the centre have combined.

Extend the soccer drill

You can make this soccer warm-up drill harder by saying the final passes to the outside players must go in sequence so you cannot pass to the same outside player more than once.
