MOVEMENT OFF THE BALL (Passing & Moving)
In this practice 5 players, A,B,C,D & E, 1 ball, players around 10 meters apart in formation as in the diagram, B & D facing A, C & E.
Practice:
A starts and passes to B and follows his pass to take B's place.
B plays the ball first time to C who has moved sharply to C2, so B's pass is controlled, and moved on to D who has also set off, and the pass should reach him so it does not check his run. (in the diagram as D2).
D collects and plays to E, who collects, turns and goes behind B, to start the practice again.
The key points are:
- Each player follows his pass with a run to replace the player he has passed to.
- Each player must be ready to control the ball, pass accurately and with the correct weight on the ball, first time pass if possible.
- The practice should be all about passing and movement.
