Pass and Return:

Red player 1 passes the ball to Blue player 1, and then runs forward to receive a return pass from Blue player 1. Red player 1 passes to Blue player 2, receives return pass and then passes the ball to Red player 2, and joins line behind Red player 2.

Passing

Criss-Cross Pass - Land on outside foot:

Split your players into 4s or more with 2 balls. Both blue players start with a ball.

The blue players both throw the ball to the Red players who in turn return the ball.
After returning the ball the red players swap places.
Repeat once more.

Time the cross-over moves so that players receive on the move.

Passing

Side Steps:

Pair your players up, with 1 ball per pair.

The player that is the worker receives 3 passes to the left over an increasing distance, then repeat with 3 passes to the right (worker runs back to centre each time.)

Encourage the worker to try to land on their outside foot.

Passing
