Soccer drill: passing warm-up

• Make groups of 2 for this passing warm-up, with 1 ball per group of 2.
• The players with the ball line up on the sideline. The other players stand opposite, about 6 meters from the player with ball.

Execution:

• Player A dribbles forward, while player B jogs backwards across the field.
• As the players jog across the field, player A passes the ball to B, who passes it back to A, until they reach the opposite sideline.
• The roles reverse when the players reach the other side of the field. Player A then runs backwards to the line where they started.

Quality:

• Have passes alternate from right foot to left foot.
• Players should try to hit the ball once, only if it is really necessary can they hit it twice.
• Focus on quality over speed, it's not a race.
• Don't forget to encourage successes!

Progress:

• Play the ball on the thigh, bring the ball under control and volley back to partner.
• Play the ball on the chest, bring the ball under control and volley back to partner.
• Play the ball on the head, head the ball back to partner.
