Soccer; 3 minute Fitness drill

2 players, 3 futebols;  or 3 players, 4 futebols. (brasilianfutebol.com)

Object – 2 players attempt to juggle 3 futebols at the same time. This may not  considered juggling in the true sense, but the idea is to keep the futebols in the air or at least bouncing; therefore players must keep all balls alive or in motion while attempting to juggle the 3 balls. Try to do this for 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips –  Pick a stationary target to play futebols to. Allow futebols to bounce, in fact playing for the bounce is essential as it buys time allowing players to chase down stray futebols and return them to the target.  The target is essential as trying to pass three futebols to each other in the air is impossible. (if you can do it please send us a video!)

Players will be actively and continuously chasing down a futebol, work to control it with 1 to 2 touches and play it back to the target, then immediately look for another  futebol that has been played to the target by the other player and repeat. Ideally futebols should be passed back to the target with a higher trajectory allowing futebols to bounce several times while limiting the distance that then may bounce away from the target. Goal is to keep the futebols moving or alive.
