Fundamental
One-Touch Passing Game – Passing
Set Up: Three players are set up inside of the grid, starting at the cones.
Procedure: During the drill, Players A and B serve balls to Player C as quickly as possible. Player C controls each ball and makes return passes to them. The pattern of play varies throughout the drill (see Progressions), and the players rotate to new starting positions every 30-60 seconds.
Teaching Topics:
1 Verbal and visual cues.
2 Ball striking.
3 Receiving.
Progressions:
1 One or two touch return pass.
2 Player C receives between the cones from across the triangle.
Coaching Points:
1 The receiver should make eye contact with the passer and call for every pass.
2 The non-kicking foot should be pointed right at the target.
3 Get into the path of the ball as quickly as possible and get your feet set.
