This passing drill shown in the images combines precision passing, movement off the ball, and positional awareness.

Setup:

  • The drill involves multiple cones and mannequins as passing stations to simulate players and defenders.

  • Players rotate positions after passing to ensure everyone practices all elements of the drill.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Passing Accuracy: Precise passing to feet or space is essential.

  • Body Positioning: Players should open their body to the field for smoother transitions.

  • Combination Play: Practice give-and-go techniques to simulate in-game one-two passing.

  • Scanning: Players must constantly look around for their next move.

  • Speed of Execution: Encourage quick passes to simulate match pressure.

Progression:

  • Limit touches (e.g., two-touch passing).

  • Introduce defenders or make mannequins represent pressing opponents.

  • Increase or decrease grid size to adjust difficulty.

This drill is ideal for improving passing speed, communication, and decision-making under realistic scenarios.
