This week we've got four fun passing games for you which work on releasing the ball at the right time rather than simply passing for the sake of passing.
What's in the Session?
We start things off with a small 4v4 passing challenge. After this we then build things up and increase the numbers of players involved and subsequently upping the difficulty.
All the activities in this training have been designed to ensure your players are passing with purpose and if they want to be successful they'll have to run off the ball and make intelligent runs for players to pass into. After using this session you should see more positive passing from your players, using the ball to outsmart the opposition and make sure they score!
Use this session today to get your players using quick passing; playing the ball intelligently to progress up the field and pick out the perfect defence splitting ball!
