In possession: Attacking

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. Timing of the pass is key to how the player receives the ball whether a through ball for the player to run on to or a switch of play. Speed of play is important for receiving and passing. Good passing helps players to control the ball and make decisions easier Players should try to finish by taking into account the goalkeeper's position and the best place to put the ball Players should always be alert for rebounds and poor clearances
