U-8 PASSING
I have used this activity with my son's U-8 soccer team and have met with great success. It seems to increase the players awareness of the field and their teammates. So here goes.
I place about 10 cone goals randomly on the field. The goals are about 3 feet wide or so. Players partner up and pass through the cone goals. The rules being that they are not allowed to pass through the same goal twice in a row. We practice this a few times and then add the pressure of completing a certain number of passes in some sort of time frame. I try to make it go like this. Player A passes thru cones to Player B, player A then runs to another cone goal to receive a pass from player B (player A must call for the pass), player B dribbles to the goal where player A has made his run and passes the ball thru. The pattern repeats itself. Works for me.
The kids like the competitive nature of working against time. Have fun.
