Passing is not just about accuracy but also about reading the game and creating opportunities for your team. Start with short passes by pairing up with a teammate. Stand 5 meters apart and complete 50 passes, focusing on controlling the ball with your first touch and delivering the second touch accurately. Gradually increase the distance to 10 meters and repeat the exercise.
Next, work on one-touch passing. Form a triangle with 2 teammates, spacing each person 8-10 meters apart. Pass the ball quickly around the triangle, aiming to complete 30 passes without losing control. This drill enhances your ability to make quick decisions and maintain possession under pressure.
For long passes, use a larger field. Pair up with a partner and practice lofted passes over 30-40 meters, completing 20 passes per session. Focus on striking the ball’s lower half to achieve height and distance while maintaining accuracy. To improve your vision, simulate match scenarios where you must identify open teammates and deliver precise through balls. Spend 15 minutes each session on this exercise, alternating positions to experience different perspectives on the field. With consistent practice over 6-8 weeks, you’ll develop the skills to dictate the pace of play and create scoring opportunities for your team.
