The driven pass

  2. Plant foot beside the ball, pointing at the target.
  3. Laces through the middle of the ball.
  4. Follow through low. Land on the kicking foot.
How it is set up

Setup. Keeper in front of goal. A full-back wide on each side, 25 to 30 metres away, each standing in a 5 metre cone gate.

How it runs. One full-back rolls the ball in. Keeper takes one touch to set it and drives a pass to the opposite full-back, who must control it inside their gate for the point. Ball comes back from that side and goes the other way. Ten passes, count the points, then rotate.

Coaching points

  1. Set touch first. Out of your feet and slightly to the side of your kicking foot, towards the target.
  2. Plant foot beside the ball, pointing where you want it to go.
  3. Laces through the middle of the ball, knee over it, to keep the pass low and fast.
  4. Follow through at the target and land on your kicking foot.

Make it harder. Move the gates further apart. Then weaker foot only. Then a presser jogs at the keeper so the set touch has to be clean.

With 4 keepers. Keeper, two full-backs and one collecting balls behind the goal. Rotate after ten passes.
