Teaching Football Skills Passing

Passing

Football is a team game. Playing as a team requires each player to be able to pass the ball well. Through passing, a team can quickly counterattack from defense, maintain possession in midfield, and set up opportunities to score. The key to good passing, once the technique is perfected, is repetition. Athlete Readiness The beginner player tends to play with their head down, looking at the ball, and so is rarely able to look for a teammate before passing. The player usually uses the toe or awkwardly tries to pass with the inside of the foot. A player at this level can kick successfully in the correct general direction, but rarely to a teammate. The intermediate player is able to locate and make eye contact with the intended receiver before passing. The player uses the inside of the foot for short passes and the instep for longer passes. A player at this level still finds some passes difficult to master; i.e., outside of the foot, chipped, and one-touch passes. In addition, the player is deliberate and predictable when passing in a game and will not disguise or fake passes. Teaching Passing 1. Make eye contact with the intended receiver. This is the starting point for successful passing. 2. Go through the technique with an imaginary ball first to correct the action. 3. Ask player to bend their knee when passing. 4. Place the player’s foot on the ball, so they know what part of foot to contact the ball with. Coaching Tips Always begin teaching passing with the side of the foot first. Have the receiver stand close, then as the passing gets better, move further away. The inside of the foot can be used for short push passes. The ball is struck firmly, with the foot following through in the direction of the intended receiver.
