Thru Pass, Back Pass Circuit
Thru Pass, Back Pass Circuit
Set Up:
There are five players set up on the small field, starting at the cones. Player 1 begins the drill with a thru pass to Player 2, and he follows the play to receive a back pass from him. From there, the play moves from Player 1 to 3 to 2. Player 2 passes across to Player 4, and play continues back and thru around the grid. The players rotate counter-clockwise during the drill, and a second ball can be added along with an additional player.
Coaching Points:
1. A poor back pass will probably lead to a poor thru pass.
2. All passes should be played to the feet of the receiver and not into space.
3. Make verbal and visual contact on each pass. Check your target before passing.
Progressions:
1. Quick two touch passing at each cone.
