To get your players passing with power and confidence, ensuring the their passes hit the receiver's hands, this session challenges your players to perform at match intensity. By practising at game speed your players will be able to prepare themselves for playing under match pressure.
Through a series of mini possession drills (2v1, 3v2 and 2v2) your players will quickly learn the value of accurate passing. One misplaced pass and they'll be forced to work hard and chase back to try and prevent their opposition from scoring on the break.
Of course, we all know Rome wasn't built in a day, but by upping the tempo and challenging your players to pass and break at game speed your players will have taken an important step forward!
