Back Pass, Thru Pass
Back Pass, Thru Pass


Set Up:
There are four players set up inside of the grid, starting at the cones. Player 1 begins play with a pass up to Player 2. Player 2 turns and plays it back to Player 3 (or Player 4). Player 3 controls the ball and makes a thru pass to Player 4, running down the line. After running onto the pass, Player 4 dribbles the ball to the center cone and leaves it. Player 3 re-starts play on the other end with another ball, and Players 1 and 4 move to the outside cones to re-form the ‘Y’ shape. After 2-3 minutes, the players rotate to new starting positions.
Coaching Points:
1. Player 2 must be able to turn and pass accurately in two touches.
2. Player 4 should hold his run until Player 3 is prepared to play the thru pass.
3. Play a one touch thru pass so that Player 4 doesn’t have to wait for the ball.
Progressions:
1. Run two groups at the same time.
