If the speed of the ball is wrong the chances of losing the ball are much greater and so this is one of the key elements to the drill, making sure the ball is moving at a good pace. Make sure the passes are not in the air as this will make it harder to control

Try to receive with an open body to allow you to play off one or two touches Try to receive with different parts of your body

Try to move the ball quickly, using a maximum of one or two touches. Try to get players to use one touch passing and only to depend on a second touch when they have to control a poor pass. When we make the pass between the lines to the attackers it should be a firm pass. Players should learn when to control the ball and slow the play down and when to play one-touch to speed the play up.

Q: Passing and receiving

Try to play one touch but when a bad pass is made players can us an extra touch or control with the help of the other foot. The speed of pass will effect the receiving of the ball, too hard and it will be harder to control with one pass, too soft and the drill will be too slow.
