Soccer drill: passing exercise / jogging backwards

Preparation:

• Make groups of 2 for this passing warm-up, with 1 ball per group of 2.
• The players with ball line up, on the sideline. The other players stand opposite to eachother, about 6 meters from the player with ball.

Exercise:

• Player A dribbles forward, while player B jogs backwards across the field.
• As the players jog across the field, player A passes the ball to B, who passes back to A, just until they reach the opposite sideline.
• The roles reverse when the players reach the other side of the field. Player A then runs backwards to the line where they started.

Variation possibilities:

• alternate from right foot to left foot.
• try to apply one hit
• focus on quality over speed, it's not a race.
