Pass into the end zone must be the right weight and direction to make it easier for players to receive the ball. Players should be trying to make diagonal passes as they are more difficult to defend. If players are making bad passes get them to take an extra touch. Keep a close watch on the speed and accuracy of the short passes.

Players should be aware of the ball and not lose control over the speed of the ball. If the passes are too slow or to fast the chances of losing the ball are increased. First touch is important so that control of the ball is much easier and is not bouncing off the players' feet.

Striker must move into positions to receive the ball on the half turn so he/she can move the ball in such a way that they have a good shot on goal. Midfield passes should be to the side of the striker nearest the goal. When the ball leaves the area play another in as soon as possible. Look for diagonal passes.
