Organization: - Establish a 5-yard open space between the paired players. Each pair needs 1 soccer ball.

Instructions: - Players pass the ball to each other ensuring it does not stop in the dead zone.

-Players compete to see how many consecutive passes they can complete in a 2-minute period

Coaching Points:

(1). Angle of approach – center.

(2). Supporting foot is next to the ball pointed at target.

(3). Contact ball - middle.

(4). Contact foot - inside.

(5). Ankle locked with toe pointed up.

(6). Follow through towards target with striking foot remaining open throughout.

Progressions: (1). Use both feet. Keep the ball moving and don't let it stop in the dead zone. (2). Keep ball moving by pushing the ball across the body or to the side of the body so the ball doesn't stop. (3). Have the players use the weak foot only to increase accuracy and familiarity.

Passing: Balls across the bridge (10 mins)

Organization: 40 x 40 yd area.

-7 gates- 2 yd wide.

- Players in pairs.

Instructions: Passing through the bridge with inside of the foot only. Ball must be passed on the bridge between partners. Each pair passes on the same bridge and count how many passes in a row between cones. Do not let your ball fly off the bridge and drown in the river.

Coaching Points:

(2). Head is looking in the direction of the pass.

(3). Angle of approach – center

(4). Contact ball - middle

(5). Ankle locked with toe pointed up

(6). Follow through towards target with striking foot remaining open throughout

Progressions: (1). Each pair has 1 bridge and pass through the gate without hitting railings (cones) as many times in a row for 2 minutes. (2). Now, partners count how many bridges their ball crossed and can NOT use the same bridge twice or else will have to pay a toll (-1 bridge). (4). Ball crosses as many bridges without touching the railings. If your ball goes off of the bridge when you pass, you are OUT. Last team standing wins!
