U8 Practice Session - Focus on Passing
U8 Practice Session - Focus on Passing
Tuesday, June 19th, 2018
In this practice session coaches work with their players on the proper fundamentals for passing the ball. The outline for the practice is the following:
- 20 x 10 2 vs. 2 (10 minutes)
- Soccer Marbles (10 minutes)
- Team Tag (10 minutes)
- Colored Gates in Pairs (15 minutes)
- 31 x 20 4 vs. 4 Scrimmage (15 minutes)
End of practice questions
- What should our foot look like when passing? (toe up, heel down).
- Why would we want it to look like this? (it creates a solid surface to pass with. Also, it keeps the ball from rolling over the top of our foot while passing).
- Where should our non-kicking foot be when passing?
- How much power should I put on a pass? (depends on where your target is. We want enough for the ball to get there, but not so much the it’s hard for the other player to control).
