Long and short pass with three players

CoachTruly

Description: In this drill there are three players who execute a continuous passing pattern. The long pass should be played in the air. Drill sequence: 1. Player A makes a short pass of a few meters, accurately to the feet of the middle player (player B). 2. Player B returns the ball with one touch back to player A. 3. Player A delivers a long and controlled pass to the other side to player C. 4. Player C now performs the same pattern on the other side: short pass to player B, who returns it, after which a long pass back to player A. 5. The drill continues with the same pattern.
Coaching key points: Delivering and controlling long passes. Movement and timing: Players must be constantly ready to receive and pass. Head up before passing – players learn to read the game better.
Key questions: How can the first touch make the next pass easier? Passing technique: short vs long pass, in the air vs on the ground
