Forward Passing

Develop players’ ability to link passes through a midfield unit under pressure while maintaining composure and supporting angles

• Set up two identical stations to create a race-based game between two teams • Each team must move all 6 balls from the starting player (bottom) to the end player (top) • A defender (red) in the middle tries to intercept or win possession during each attempt • Players must link through the two central midfielders — both must touch the ball before it progresses • If the defender wins the ball, they may try to score into a mini-goal • First team to successfully transfer all 6 balls wins
