Whether it's the start of the season or the latter stages of the league players will always need to work on their passing precision and their touch. In this session we work on a number of passing accuracy drills to make sure passes are hit with enough power and that they reach their intended recipient... every time!
When you watch the best teams and hear the crowd chanting Ole for every completed pass you can almost see the frustration in the opposition as they are unable to regain the ball and are forced to chase around the field. To get your team playing confident and consistent Ole-like passing try this passing precision session with your players.
All the exercises in this session can be used by players of all abilities, you can choose to challenge more experienced players by increasing the passing distance, increasing the element of accuracy required or by reducing the sizes of the passing gates.
Watch your players carve through oppositions in the next match, with their new passing confidence. After training these drills you can incorporate some of them as part of your pre-match warm up routine.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
