1-step and left hip pass:

Step with your left foot and pass off the left hip against a wall 3 m away. Make the pass return so you can catch without having to move. Then step backwards and into position to repeat the exercise.

1 Handed Pass:

Make a pass off to your left whilst moving forwards.
Arm should follow the path of the ball to ensure correct trajectory.

Passing Technique

Behind the back pass:

Stand about 10 feet away from a wall.

Pass the ball around your back so it bounces back on your front side. Once you catch the ball again, you wrap it around your back again and continue the drill in the same way.

Passing Technique

Chest Bounce Pass:

Step forwards with one foot.

As the weight transfers forward make a chest pass by extending your arms at chest height and bounce the ball in between you and the player to whom you are passing.
