Objective

Execute the 1-2 combination pass at pace to beat a simulated defender.

Equipment

balls
cones

Instructions

1
Pairs stand 5 yards apart facing the same direction.
2
Player A passes to B and immediately runs past the cone (simulated defender).
3
B plays a first-time return pass into A's path.
4
A controls and repeats.
5
10 combinations each then swap roles.

Coaching Points

✓ Pass and move immediately — the run must start before the return pass.
✓ Weight the pass so B can play first time.
✓ B's return pass goes into space, not to feet.

Age Notes

U8

Walk through it slowly first: "pass, then run, then receive." Repeat the cue every rep.

Variations

→ Add a passive third player as the defender between A and B.
