In this soccer passing drill, the focus lays on the correct timing of releasing and offering as well as the technical execution. As a basic principle, every pass shall be played as sharp as possible (pace of playing), but as soft as necessary (teammate must be able to control the ball safely)
Organization: According to illustration. The starting player dribbles towards the dummy and player A releases in an arch-sharped run from the second dummy and is passed to.
Variation 1: While player A starts an initial dribbling, B releases sideways into a half-open position. The pass is played with the left and received with the right one and forwarded with two touches with the left foot. Change of positions after 5 (10,15) combinations.
Soccer Passing Drill Variation 2
A starts an initial dribbling. Player B opens with a short sprint the vertical passing-lane (timing: first the dribbling, then the sprint to open the passing lane!). With the played pass to C, B approaches C and passes to the parallel set up group (D). Here, the same combination is performed. Position Changes respectively one station further.
Consider change of pace: Quickly open the passing-lane – slow down the pace – quickly sprint towards the ball (but: Do not run too far towards the ball carrier).
Soccer Passing Drill Variation 3
While A starts an initial dribbling, B laterally releases into a half-open position. The with the left foot played pass will directly be back passed with the right foot (command: “Return!”). The return-pass is played diagonally (avoid cross passes). The ball is directly forwarded to C. C receives the ball into movement, finishes on the goal and lines up at the starting point. All players move one position further. Reorganize the dummies after 5 minutes to train the other side.
This passing drill is taken from the eBook – Fundamental Attacking Strategies
The first part of the new ebook series “German Top Level Tactics” by Steven Turek and Ralf Peters deals with specific attacking strategies to improve the tactical knowledge of your team. It gives detailed information on how to efficiently open and use space against deeply defending opponents and provides concrete solutions for the build-up!
