Take one of the opposition's players out of the equation by teaching your players to delay their pass and draw the defender in before playing the ball to a teammate. As a result, an opposition player is eliminated and the receiving player is likely to have more space and time on the ball.
Too many times players on the ball just pass the ball and don't use the opportunity to try and take a defender out of the equation before passing the ball.
