Passing Warm-up Practice
- Warm-up
- U9 to U11
- 6–14 players
- Passing
- First Touch

Setup
You will require: 1 ball per 2 / 50 cones, Split group into pairs, Use cones to create 10x5 areas but make sure there is space between each pair, Set a cone 1 meter behind the player on each side to form a triangle of cones around each player, Players face each other in their passing lane
How it works
Step 1) Players start with two-touch passes to one another to start, Step 2) Players side step around a cone after they pass, Step 3) Players move backwards around the cone behind and back after a pass, Step 4) Repeat step 2 or 3 but use 2 touch max
