DESCRIPTION

A simple pass and follow is to put out some cones at random on the pitch. Have a player without a ball by each cone and the rest of the players at the start with a ball. A player passes the ball and follows it to the first cone where that pass went. The player waiting at the first cone receives the ball, passes it to the 2nd cone and so on. The player by the last cone, on receiving a ball has to run with the ball, to the queue at the start.

Pass and follow exercise:

A good warm-up before the game is to start with some players with balls outside the 23m area. Put some other players 5-10m apart 3 down each side. A player starts the pass and follow chain with the last player to receive the ball having a shot, and returning to the start.

Making Space:

Players move as shown in the diagram. Player at the front of the queue passes to the player on the wing who is moving from side to side waiting for the pass.

They then run up the line and then cut back and pass to the player waiting in the circle who then shoots at goal. Players involved then move round and play starts again.

Pass and Follow Pattern:

It is possible to set up any pattern of play and practice it with the pass and follow exercise. This one is just one example of a switch from left to right to create a goal chance.

Passing & Receiving

Pass and follow exercise:

This exercise is to practise the right wing cross. A player with the ball runs into the area of cones and hits the ball across to the player at the front of the queue.

This player receives and runs into the next area and crosses the ball. After the cross the player runs to the back of teh other queue. Can be done with 2-4 balls at the same time.
