Passing in Pairs
- Participants will stand in pairs passing the ball to each other using inside foot pass technique, controlling on their back foot.
- Once they are able to pass through the gates, they can then be taught to recieve with the inside and outside of their foot and play the ball around the outside of the gates.
- Once they are comfortable passing over 5m, they can move back to the second line of cones.
- If they complete 2 passes each without the ball going outside of the lane, they must move back again.

5 Passes 1 Goal
- Split the group into two teams. (4v4 +2 creating a 6v4 in possession)
- The team with the ball has to pass between themselves without losing possession. If the attacking team completes 5 passes in a row, it counts as 1 goal.
- The activity can be adapted and progressed by changing the size of the grid, limit the number of touches, or remove floating players to create even teams.

Passing Circle
- Players stand in a circle passing the ball to each other. Encourage participants to use only two touches.
- Progress on to following your pass and changing place with your team mate.
- This can be made harder by adding a defender in the middle to try and intercept the ball. (Rondo)
- Make smaller groups so that there are more touches with the ball. Eg. 5 players per circle instead of 10.
