This drill aims to focus athlete's attention onto short passing and receiving. In this drill, the first player passes the ball through the gate to the other player in their pair. Then, the receiving player takes one touch and passes through the neighbouring gate.
- Ensure players are constantly on their toes, ready to move to the ball
- Ensure the side of the foot is used to pass
- More advanced athletes could use their weaker foot

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
