Introduction

Key Points & Objectives

Passing Patterns are designed patterns which players execute in a set order. The secret is in the detail:

firmness of pass

proper timing and movement of the receiving player

proper body position of the player reciving the ball

proper technique of the passer and receiver

eye contact with receiver before passing the ball

using correct passing and receiving surface - receive on inside/pass on inside

establishing a rythym of play with teammates

executing the drill at a challenging level

remaining focused

Saving a split second is the difference between losing possession or not. If a player isnt positioned properly to receive the ball, it might take an extra half a second to move the ball out of his feet.

Receiving players should come off their cone when the passing player receives the ball and their head is coming up (eye contact before passing the ball is required).

Movement at the right time is the key to creating separation - move too early and you will have ot wait for the ball giving the defender the chance to react.

Firm passing to the correct fott is needed to make the pattern realistic.

If done correctly, players can easily translate the passing movementsw, visual cues, timing and rythym directly onto the pitch if the patterns are done in a realistic way.

Allow groups to race against each other - make every touch count as well as the speed of play. Or, count the number of inaccurate passes within a 3 min block and then repeat to improve.

Practice needs to be deliberate and focussed in order for players to consistently improve.

Barcelona Star (15 mins)

Organisation

Set up grid to a maximum of 25 x 25 yards.

Create Star with cones and split 15 players into 5 x3, placing one group on each cone.

Use 1-3 balls.

Instructions

Players make a pass in the numbered sequence, and follow their pass running straight through the middle of the star - not around it.

Start with one ball until the pattern is learned then work with two balls.

Coaching Points

Eye contact before passing - CRUCIAL

Receive with inside of the foot

Pass with inside of the foot

Firm passing

'Bump Off' the cone into space right when the apss is about to be made. Timing of the movement with the passer is crucial.

Use proper body positiong when receiving the pass.

Create a rhythym to the passing

Progressions

Introduce a second ball, followed by a third.

If a player passes the ball outside the 'Star', that passing player must sprint to get the inaccurate pass - teaches taht an inaccurate pass should be immediately chased after in terms of defending, and instills the good habit - head doesn't go down after a poor pass - go after it with determination.
