 Description

• Simple lateral passing drill using three  groups (in the diagram example there are three groups of three), the ball is laterally passed from 1 through to 3. While passing each group must cross from one side of the grid to the other, then turn, ready to go again.

• Grid should be approximately 10x10 meters. Grid size will vary depending on skill level, age and numbers.

• Group A begins with the ball running to the opposite side passing from A1 to  A3 . A3 passes laterally to B1 who then  continues the process.

 B3 then pops the ball to C1 , C3 completes the cycle by passing laterally to A3 .

•The coach chooses how many cycles are run.

 Variations/Progressions

• Poles, markers or players maybe staggered to mimic defenders within the grid.

• Use different passes such as cuts, loops and switches.

• Increase foot speed.

• Change group numbers and or increase size of grid

 Coaching Points

• Pass ball out in front of the player.

• Player receiving pass should have  hands up ready and facing passer. Soft  hands on receiving the ball.

• No spiral passes. Use wrists and  fingers

• Verbal communication important.

• Keep running straight. Beginning with outside foot forward will assist with running straight.

• Quick ball transfer
