Players work in pairs and pass the ball to each other using one touch only. The aim is to complete 10 consecutive passes without misplacing a pass. If a pass is inaccurate or not controlled successfully, the pair must restart their count from zero. The first pair to complete 10 consecutive one-touch passes scores 1 point. The challenge then starts again, with players competing to score as many points as possible. This drill helps improve passing accuracy, first-time passing, concentration, and communication.
Head up. Accurate passes. Good first touch position. Communicate. Stay moving. Pass with the inside of the foot.
