How to pass the ball better in soccer!
Parents and Friends,
To stay in the game a player must develop an understanding of how to complete a pass to a teammate.
Yet we’ve all observed kids with bad habits. Kicking the ball to nobody in particular using poor technique.
Unfortunately, when a player applies the same mechanics for passing as for shooting that is the result.
QUALITY passing is all about transferring the ball accurately to a teammate from distance.
It must be worked on at an early age because the game only becomes more complex as numbers and the field size increase.
An 11 v 11 pitch is typically 115 x 74 yards. With that there are even more options, considerations and complications!
At Soccer 1:1 we instill solid fundamentals into players at each session. Here are my top FIVE tips for basic passing:
1) Toe pointed slightly up.
2) Ball slightly out of feet and at an angle.
3) Non-kicking foot must be placed beside the ball and pointed at the target.
4) Picture the ball as having two eyes, a nose and a mouth....
