About passing drills

What separates a good passer from a player who 'can pass' is what happens before the ball arrives. The receiving foot. The shoulder check. The body shape that opens the next pass. The drills below are sequenced — start with Two-Player Passing if your group needs the basics, progress to Triangles when they can hit a moving target both feet, and graduate to the 3v1 Rondo when they can play under pressure. Skip steps and the drills will tell you so by breaking down.

Useful for passing sessions

Passing drills typically need cones for gates and targets, and enough balls that every pair can work simultaneously rather than sharing.
