PASSING (WITH PLACE CHANGING)

Practice 1

Two players A and B, one ball (diagram 1)

Diagram 1

 

 

(A) starts in possession, then plays the ball ahead of (B) who runs forward to collect the ball at point (X)

(B) continues his run on to position (B1), (A) meanwhile runs diagonally across to (A1) (running behind (B)) then checks back to collect the pass from (B1) or point (Y) and so the practice progresses.

 
Practice 2

 
This can progress to three players being used (A), (B) and (C) (diagram 2)
 
Diagram 2
 

 
(B) starts ahead of the other two (in possession)

(A) and (C) move forward

(B) rolls the ball ahead to (A) at (A1), (C) meanwhile moves forward to (C1), while (B) runs round the back of (A) to (B1) ready to receive the next pass from (C1)

(A1) passes to (C1), (A1) then runs round the back of (C1) to position (A2) and so the practice continues with the three players moving around the field, interchanging positions and passing.
