Fundamental
Back Pass, Thru Pass – Passing Patterns
Set Up: There are four players set up inside of the grid,
starting at the cones.
Procedure: Player A begins play with a pass up to Player B.
Player B turns and plays it back to Player C (or Player D).
Player C controls the ball and makes a thru pass to Player D,
running down the line. After running onto the pass, Player D
dribbles the ball to the center cone and leaves it. Player C restarts
play on the other end with another ball, and Players A
and D move to the outside cones to re-form the ‘Y’ shape. After
2-3 minutes, the players rotate to new starting positions.
Teaching Topics:
1 Turning.
2 Timing the runs.
3 Speed of play.
Progressions:
1 Run two groups at
the same time.
Coaching Points:
1 Player B must be able to turn and pass accurately in two touches.
2 Player D should hold his run until Player C is prepared to play the thru pass.
3 Play a one touch thru pass so that Player D doesn’t have to wait for the ball.
