Exercise CW38: Opponent-Beating Passing I

It is recommended that players play the passes with both feet. Initially, passes should be played flat. Advanced players can also chip the ball over the opponent. Observe the red player as well as the teammate in the opposite field. An accurate passing game is of enormous importance for a successful football match. Therefore, passing must be practised repeatedly. It should not be forgotten that exercises must be corrected and demonstrated correctly when performed incorrectly. Additional important points: - The standing foot should be placed 30-40 cm to the side of or level with the ball. - For the inside-of-the-foot pass, the toes point upward, the ankle is firmly locked, and the upper body leans slightly forward over the ball. - Stand on the balls of the feet, slightly lift the kicking foot, and strike the ball in the centre. Bring the body over the ball and do not lean backward (ball reception and carrying follows the same technique). - Follow through with the leg after striking the ball. - Watch the arms! When passing with the right inside, the left arm goes to the right hip; when passing with the left inside, the right arm goes to the left hip! - For the instep pass, the ankle is extended, toes point to the ground, and the upper body leans slightly over the ball. - When playing the ball with the outside of the foot, a slight backward lean is acceptable. - For the inside kick, move laterally offset to the ball; the body tilts at an angle. - 8 cones
