Chelsea passing (10 mins)

Set Up: Players are split into 2 lines 15-20 yds apart

Description: 1) In this practice the passer must instruct the receiving player by using communication. The passer can call turn or set. The player receiving must then react to turn and dribble out or set the passer who plays out

2) Both central players make a movement to receive a pass. The player receiving must pass back to the original passer who now plays a pass into space for the non receiving player to dribble out

3)Now three players start in the central area. The starting player passes a ball into the three players who must quickly combine to pass the ball out to the opposite end. All three players must touch the ball before its played out.

Coaching Points:
