Turn and Pass Drill

Before you start

• Set up facing a wall (or use a training partner on one side if you do not have a double wall set up).

Movement sequence

1. Receive the pass from the wall/partner.
2. Execute a turn and pass the ball back.

Key points

• Complete the turn and pass within two touches to increase your speed of play.
• Do about 20 reps either side, changing the feet and turn each time.

Common mistakes

Taking too many touches which slows down the speed of play.

Practice notes

Particularly vital for the spine of the team: center-backs receiving from the goalkeeper, midfielders from defenders, and strikers from midfielders.
