The 2 Point Pass

To improve passing accuracy, spatial awareness, and defensive organisation in a small-sided game environment.

Setup: • Create a square with cones to define the playing area. • Assign attackers (blue) and defenders (red) to their positions within the square. Execution: • Attackers pass the ball inside the square. • Scoring: ◦ Attackers earn 2 points for a pass that 'splits' the defenders (passes between two defenders). ◦ All other successful passes earn 1 point for the attackers. ◦ Defenders earn 2 points if they intercept a 'split' pass. ◦ Defenders earn 1 point for any other ball recovery. • Play until a team reaches 10 points or within a set time limit. • Rotate the players so a new team are the defenders each time.
