Pass & Move Squares
Pass & Move Squares is a fantastic drill to get your players thinking fast and moving into space.
It involves the whole squad.
It keeps all players switched on, even if they don’t have the ball as they have to be set ready to receive the pass and move the ball quickly
Focus on a good touch and being on their toes to move around the grid in order to receive and play a pass.
Communication is vital between the players in order to succeed.
Pass & Move Squares – How it Works.
Split your squad into 4 teams.
Mark out 4 equally sized boxes.
Place 3 teams in 3 of the 4 boxes and the 4th team in the middle.
The team in the middle are the defenders
Whichever team starts with the ball, the other 2 teams must move to be adjacent.
When the drill starts the ball will be played into one of the teams is a square.
A defender from the centre will carry a bib, and follow the ball to try and win it back.
The team with the ball must then complete a set number of passes (4, 5 or 6 ) before being allowed to move the ball on to an adjacent square ( No Diagonal Passes allowed )
Once the pass is played ( for example – Pass from Box 3 to Box 1 – the team in Box 4 must move to Box 2 in order to be able to receive a pass.
The Defender will return to the middle and a different defender will close down the new group.
If a team doesn’t complete the set number of passes, they switch out and become the defenders.
Pass & Move Squares – Scale it Up
The following are great ways to scale this drill up
| 1. | Increase the number of passes required to allow the pass to the next box |
| 2. | Increase the distance between the boxes so a long pass is needed |
| 3. | Decrease the size of the boxes so sharper passing is required |
