You can run this as a competition between pairs or simply use it as a challenge to get players to focus on their passing accuracy.

COACHING POINTS

Vary the distance between the players and size of goals depending on the ability of your players.

With more experienced players push them to try and compete this drill, using first time passes. With younger players challenge them to complete the drill using two touches - control, then pass!

Turn and Pass 2:

In groups of minimum of 4.

Set out the 2 goals behind which each team stands.

1 player from one group goes to the centre square of cones to receive the ball from the other side. They receive the ball, turn and pass the ball through the gate to their partner to score a point.

Then the player from the other team runs into the centre square to receive the ball and turn to pass the ball through the gate to their partner.

Passing and Receiving

Pass and Move Between Cones:

2 players with 1 ball players stand behind their 2 cones.

Players have to take the ball wide of one of the cones to then try and score a goal by passing the ball through the 2 cones of the other player who on receiving the ball takes it wide of the their cones to pass the ball back.

Passing and Receiving

Pass and follow circuit:

Set out a pattern of cones for any passing sequence.

In this one we set the cones out so the players play a infield pass followed by a pass to the wing who has to run down the wing around the cone to cross the ball to the forward who should try to score with a first time shot.

Each player pass and follows their own pass to the next station.

Passing and Receiving

The Diagonal Pass:

Players work in pairs, with one ball per pair.
The first player makes a square pass across the grid to their partner before running onto the cone ahead.
Their partner then plays a pass diagonally across the grid back to their partner who is looking to run onto the ball.
The player who started the drill then plays square across the grid again to their partner running onto the ball.
The players work their way up to the top of the grid.
