Passing and shooting drills

Here are two drills to improve your team’s passing and shooting skills.

DRILL ONE

Lay-off pass by Tony Carr

When performed with the right weight and timing, a lay-off pass speeds up attacking play and creates opportunities your team can exploit.

What you are looking for players to do

• Cushion the ball – make it inviting for a team mate to run on to without breaking stride and so they can pass/shoot first time.

• Accuracy, timing and weight of the pass.

• Use the inside (and outside) of the foot.

• Communication – verbal, eye contact, hand signals.

You need to use an area 30 yards square.
