Passing Grid (15 mins)

Organisation:

Within this 3x3 grid, players are split into 3 groups of 3 and they are passing the ball amongst their teams ensuring that once a player has passed they must move to another area of the grid
Players shouldn't be in the same square as a teammate

Progression:

Number themselves 1-3. Doing the same as above, 1 passes to 2, 2 to 3, 3 to 1, etc (can do it backwards as well
See who can do the most passes within a minute

Coaching Points:

In this practice, some of the key bits we are looking for is passing technique/quality, movement/positioning, communication and speed of play
Passing technique/quality:

Encourage players to play different types of passes: bounce pass, reverse pass, outside of the boot, chipped pass, set back pass (core move)
Using both feet to receive and turn (that can be a challenge as well)
Passing speed to allow the player to turn or bounce the pass
What foot the player is passing to
Movement/Positioning:
Trying to create triangular shape whilst in possession - looking at the Set Back Pass core move (and if players get the grasp of that then potentially up back and through)
Moving as soon as a player has passed the ball
Timing of movement
Body shape to receive
Communication
Players asking for the ball
Using names
Receiving player telling the passing player which foot they want to receive on
Use of hand signals

Game situation with the same 3v3 grid used initially
Similar rules to previous practices
Play starts with GK, and we will look to swap over which team has the GK
