NUMBERS - PASSING




For 10 - 14 players. In a grid area no more than 20m x 20m. Give each player a number starting with 1, 2 3 etc. The players have to move around the grid area at random and call their number to receive the ball.   The coach starts the session by passing the ball to number 1.   Each player must call their number out loudly and be in a position to be able to receive and pass to the next player.    To start the session allow only two touches, the first to control, the second to pass.   Final progression must be to receive and pass on the first touch.

Key factors:   All passes must be played on the ground.   Stress to the players the need to shout their number early as the ball is passed.   This will allow the receiving player to look up and see where to pass to.

Practice this for 20mins each session and it will improve ball control.
