IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
DYNAMIC PASSING WARM-UP
How doI progress the session?
Damian Roden
HEAD OF PERFORMANCE, AUSTRALIA NATIONAL TEAM
Damian Roden is the Head of Performance for the Australian National team having previously worked in the same capacity for Barclays Premier League teams Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers.
Having played semi- professionally as a midfielder, Damian hung up his boots to concentrate on the coaching side of the game, and having gained a UEFA ‘Pro’ licence, not to mention a Masters degree (MSc) in Sports Science, he is a highly respected thinker in terms of preparation and performance in football, and is looking forward to extending that scope to the southern hemisphere having just joined up with new Socceroos Head Coach Holger Osieck.
Progress to moderate intensity - players repeat what they did to start off with but instead of turning and passing to the corner player, the second man passes back to the first for them to then pass to the corner (see diagram two).
There are then two high-intensity variations - instead of running with the ball, corner players play a one-two with the second player (see diagram three). In the next variation, instead of playing a one-two with the corner man, player two turns and passes to the opposite flank-running corner player (see diagram four). The player then runs to the opposite corner from where he received the pass, assuming the position of the player now running down the touchline. Alternate between corners with every new player.
What are the key things to look out for?
“Alter the size of the area depending on the physiological capabilities of the players.”

I am paying attention to the quality of movement during exercises. I also need to check that my players are focused on the ball-related activities, ensuring that they optimise their technical development.
