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.
