When they're on the ball in a game situation players can sometimes experience rabbit in the headlights syndrome, this is when they panic and hold onto the ball too long, missing the perfect passing opportunity and eventually running into a dead end. To stop this happening to your players we've created a session which works on the two Ps - Passing and Pressure.
By creating a pressured game situation your players will improve on their ability to cope under pressure. Working in pairs players will need to time their passing if they want to keep possession and get around the lone defender. Throughout the course of this passing session your players will learn how to make the right decision and pass the ball before the opportunity has passed them by.
