The partcipants must pass to there team mates by using the inside of foot to travel the ball along the ground surface to there team mate. If the partcipants are looking for pass then they are required to find themselves space so the person that has ball can pass to them without the ball getting intercepted. The partcipants have to pass the ball quickly when under pressure from opposite team so they need to have great control of the ball.
