This session is great for squads of all sizes, from 2 players up to 22 players, as we work on your players' in-step passing, first touch and their passing and moving technique.
Short passing is a fundamental skill which will help players to keep possession (the instep pass technique is often used too when placing a shot). For this reason it's important that all your players are able to pass accurately using this technique and then move into space to help their team keep the ball.
What's in the session?
