Passing Drill: Passing Center with Quick Passing Sequence

• cones to set up an outer square
• 4 poles to create an inner square
• Position 2 players in the center and at least 2 players on the outside at the cones
• 2 players at 2 diagonally opposite outer cones have a ball

• The central players make runs out of the center to offer themselves to an outer player. The outer player passes to a central player, follows the pass into the center, and takes the central position. The central player who received the pass then passes counter-clockwise to the next outer player and takes their place. The passing sequence continues: Outside - Center - Outside.

Variation

• Practice in a clockwise direction.
• Alternate passing sequence diagonally, laterally: The central player turns and passes to the opposite side, then continues as normal.

Coaching Points 

• Demand communication.
• Use a starting movement to create space.
• Process and pass the ball quickly.
• Approach the ball (move off before receiving).
