Key takeaways for this lesson:

  • The setup for a pass has a big influence on the accuracy and power of a pass. A pass with a poor setup will be played rather slow and thus is easier to intercept.
  • For a good passing setup you should try that the angle between your players body position and passing direction is less than 90 degree.
  • So before playing a sloppy pass, you should try to take 1 or 2 touches to get your player in a better viewing direction. Also the ball roll can be a great tool to quickly improve the angle.
  • To be efficient in your build-up and thus enhance your chances of creating a threat on goal, you should make a plan in which direction you want to play, before you control the ball.
