Positional Passing for Team Play

Passing accuracy and positional awareness are crucial for effective team play. To improve these skills, set up a passing drill with four cones forming a square, each cone 10 meters apart. In groups of four, pass the ball around the square, ensuring it never stops. Start with 2-touch passes (control and pass) for 10 minutes, then transition to 1-touch passes for another 10 minutes. Add a moving target (like a fifth player acting as a "runner") to simulate real-game scenarios. Perform this drill three times a week and aim for a pass accuracy rate of 90% or higher. Over time, increase the passing speed and the distance between cones to further develop precision and decision-making under pressure.
