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.

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.
