As a transitional movement and articulation of the ball during a soccer game, passing is one of the fundamental characteristics that any soccer player must develop from an early age.
To endow a player with good passing quality, it is necessary to work, from an early age, on his quality of decision and reaction capacity. In a soccer team where there are fully capable players with the characteristics described above, the quality of the game will be more fluid and complete.
Focusing on the pass and its quality is also very important to increase ball possession and, in this way, try to dominate the game in all aspects.
Because we know the importance of planning drills focused on developing each player’s passing skills, we’ve developed a new video with passing exercises.
