Fast Passing - Feinting

Attackers pass the ball along the line and defenders must run forward to defend. Attacking players are trying to move the ball quickly in order to create an opening for a shot. They can do this through use of fast passes, feints and dummies.

Fast Passing to Create Space 1

B is the feeder who throws the introduction pass 1 (either to A or to B). Player A runs towards wingplayer E and passes to E. E goes in between the cones (1st and 2nd defender) and passes to A, who retreated backwards and comes in again at full speed, receiving the pass from E and quickly passes the ball to the incoming C, who goes in between the cones (1st and 2nd defender) and passes to D, who throws at the goal. B now plays his first pass to C and the shot will finally come from player E.

Find space to pass to pivot

Players work in groups of three (blue players), passing and moving the ball to try and create space for a pass into the pivot (white player). Meanwhile the defender (red) is doing their best to mark the pivot and prevent the space opening up for a pass to the pivot player for a shot on goal!

Meet the Pass

Players stand a few steps behind their cone. The first player with the ball in hand should step up to their cone and then aim their pass in front of their target recipient (pass to that player's cone). As the pass is made in front of them players should be ready to move forwards to receive the ball and then pass it to another player as fast as possible (without losing control of the ball).

Combination Pass 2v1 538 fast ...

In this move the winger start with the ball and passes the keeper who returns the pass to the center back. At this point the wing back and the winger both make a forward run. Once the wing back receives the pass from the center back the defender is then free to run forward to put pressure on the wing back. The wing back must read the situation and decide on the best way to progress the attack. They can either pass the ball to the winger who has made a looping run behind them or they can carry the ball forward themselves for the shot on goal. Drill continues until a shot/interception has been made.
