LOGINPassing with speed
A simple exercise to encourage young players to work on their possession so they can dictate the play at pace.
WHY USE IT
Helps players to pass the ball at speed and will improve the skills of young players in one of the most vital areas of the game: possession. It also helps encourage supporting runs on the outside of a team-mate.
SET UP
Set up an area of 15x10 yards. We are using 10 players in this session. You need balls and cones.
HOW TO PLAY
Follow the passing sequence in the illustration, making sure players use communication to let other players know when to pass. Look for accuracy and weight of pass. Players B and C should be rotated, as they are the servers.
COACHING POINTS
- This is an unopposed session to get players looking up and calling for the pass. It is vital that players look up so they pass accurately.
- This simple passing sequence will help you to gradually speed up your players’ first touch, control and pass so that they will do it at speed in matches and know how to take advantage when they have possession.
