24hr Coaching

Coach demonstrates and explains the qualities of a good pass and the variety of passing surfaces.

Passing is the most frequent of techniques used in the game of soccer. It lays the foundation from which all tactical plans will be designed. Without quality passing, possession and dictating the course of the game is impossible. Good teams can keep the ball because they have players with a wide range of passing techniques and understand when and where to effectively apply their skills.

A soccer players foot must be like a golf club, changing from a driver to a putter in a split second. Hitting long balls accurately and stroking short range passes with finesse.

There are twelve surfaces on the feet in which a player can pass a ball, six surface's on the right foot and six on the left foot. These surfaces are:

• The inside of the foot.
• The outside of the foot.
• The instep of the foot.
• The toe.
• The heel of the foot.
• The sole of the foot.
