Description

This is a basic passing session for beginners, focusing on the fundamental mechanics before gradually adding pressure (time) and then opposition. It then builds into more game like small sided game scenarios.

Simple Unopposed Passing and Receiving (15 mins)

Organisation

  • Players on the outside start with the ball
  • Players on the inside find a player with the ball, run to within 3 yards of them and play the ball back with 2 touches
  • Go for two minute sets x2
  • Add an 'inside circle' if the players in the middle are getting too close

Coaching Points 

  • Basic mechanics - Passing (inside of foot, standing foot next to the ball pointing in the right direction, look at target before passing)
  • Basic mechanics - Control (present foot to ball, relax on impact)
  • Passing distant, do we want to be right on top of our team mate?
  • Players on the outside on their toes
Progressions
  • Players use their left foots
  • Make it a competition - 1 complete pass = 1 point (note passes have to be complete to the target or it does not count
