5 Pass Soccer Game


    5 pass game


    improves passing and receiving skills while encouraging players to find space

     

    Playing ..
    • Split players into 2 even teams (play 4 vs 4 up to 7 vs 7)

    • Mark a large grid with cones (approximately 40 yards x 30 yards)

    • A neutral player is placed at each end of the field.

    • To score a goal, a team must make 5 or more consecutive passes to teammates and then must make the 6th pass to one of the neutral players without the ball being touched by the opposition.

    • After 5 consecutive passes are completed, the players from that team may pass to either neutral player to score, no need to alternate between neutral players.

    • A player (team) does not get credit for a pass if the ball is passed back to the player
      from which it came. (But they still keep possession and play continues)

    • Any time a team is dispossessed of the ball before completing 5 passes, the opposition starts at pass #1.

    • Once the neutral player receives the pass that counts as the goal he/she must pass
      the ball first time (one touch pass) to the same team that scored the goal and that
      team begins play again at pass #1.

     

     Coaching Points
    • Players keep their heads up, know where your teammates are and pass to the open player.

    • Play quickly

    • Teammates must support the player receiving the pass

      • A minimum of 2 players give close support options
      • A minimum of 1 player gives long support

    Thus spreading the defenders and opening the field

    • Players make runs to open space to receive passes

    • Make quick (change of speed) runs to get open to receive a pass.
      (Don't be a Johnny Jogger) who always jogs the same speed and is easy to defend.
     Competition, Variations & Restrictions:
    • Play games to 5 and losing team does 5 jumping jacks

    • Restrict players in the grid to 2 touches ... if a player touches the ball 3 times
      they lose possession of the ball.

    • Restrict players to 1 touch soccer.
