Warm-up with Passing
Passing
- Description
- Area and player positioning: Two players are in the middle of the area. There are four corners around the area, three of which have one player each and the starting corner has two players. Drill progression: The situation begins when the blue player passes to the red player. The red player passes to one of the players in the middle. The middle player continues the pass to the other player in the middle. This player passes to a player on the edge. The edge player passes once more to another edge player before the ball is played back to the middle. After each pass, the player follows their pass and moves to that position.
- Quality factors
- Accurate and well-timed passes to keep the play flowing smoothly. Passing to the correct foot and the right side of the player facilitates the next touch. Also the body position of the receiver. Maintaining the tempo and accelerating when necessary.
- Key questions
- What should you observe before receiving the ball? Why is it important to move after making a pass? How can you help the players in the middle succeed with their passes?
