This coaching plan improves ball control and passing accuracy, helping your players to pick out the a defence splitting pass. We also encourage players to be pass using both feet.
Being able to pass using either foot will give your players better balance, more passing options and also allow them to keep possession for longer.
What's in the session?
To improve your players' passing accuracy (using both feet) we get your players passing in pairs to one another through a pair of cones - you can make this as easy or hard as you you like, by changing the width between the cones.
After this things start to get competitive - as a result you might find some of your players starting to overweigh their passes as they practice passing (with both feet) under pressure. Don't worry about this, it's a good thing as it will stretch the opposition and bring home to your players the importance of good, accurate passes.
