Passing – U10+ - 4 Cone 4 Person Passing

Set up a grid that is approximately 15 X 15 yards. Divide the team into pairs. Each pair has one soccer ball. Place one player at each end of the grid. Create a 4 cone square in the center of the grid (no more than 5 yards square). The object of the game is for each pair to pass their ball between the cones in the center of the grid in each direction. The first team to complete 5 passes that go between all 8 cones is declared the winner.

Variations: Play one touch. Place a time restriction on the length of the game. Have the players pass with the left and right foot. Have the players strike the ball with the outside of the left and right foot.

This game teaches accurate passing while also impressing on the players the need for quick release of the ball.
