TOP 10 SKILL FOR FOOT BALLER:

we'll give you 10 basic passing tips

that every player should know

and if you watch high level football

you'll see players do these things all

the time but first we're going to give a quick shout out to our sponsor one football which is the best app for following the new major league soccer season for example right now i'm using one football to read about insignia's move to tor onto which for ml s is a blockbuster transfer pass to the correct foot

PASS TO CORRECT FOOT

when you're passing to a teammate in a game ideally you should think about and choose which foot you're going to pass to for example in this situation if you were to pass to your teammate to right foot then you'd be giving the defender a better chance to steal the ball since the defender is pressuring from that side but if you pass the ball to their left foot then the ball will be further away from the defender and your teammate will be able to turn pass the ball in front of your teammate.

PASS THE BALL IN FRONT OF YOUR TEAMMATE

this one is pretty simple when you're on

the attack and your teammate has space

general you should pass the ball in

front of them

for example in this situation if you

pass the ball to where your teammate is

now

the ball will end up being behind them

and ruin the play

but if you pass the ball slightly in

front of them you can keep the attack

moving forward

pass to feet

PASS TO FEET

of course you shouldn't always pass the

ball in front

sometimes you need to pass the ball

directly to your teammate's feet

for example here if you pass the ball in

front of your teammate the defender

could potentially get a foot on it

but if you pass the ball directly to

your teammate's foot

they can touch it past the defender

pass with the outside of your foot

PASS WITH THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR FOOT

it's important to learn to pass with the

outside of your foot as well because

sometimes the situation demands it

for example in this situation the ball

has to be played now before your

teammate runs offside so there's no time

to switch the ball to your other foot

but if you use the outside of your foot

you can play that pass instantly

pass over defender's foot.

PASS OVER DEFENDER'S FOOT

sometimes to get a ball to a teammate

it's necessary to pass it slightly in

the air.

for example in this situation to pass to

your teammate it has to go very close to

the defender close enough that they

could get the ball if it's on the ground

but if you pass the ball slightly off

the ground you can get the ball past the

defender even if they stretch out a leg

know where to pass ahead of time.

KNOW WHERE TO PASS AHEAD OF TIME

perhaps the best way to become a better

passer is to always be looking around

and to know where you can pass ahead of

time

take this situation for example

here the attacker doesn't know where his

passing options are so he controls the

ball even though he's under pressure

from the defender

but if he knew where his teammate was he

could easily play a simple pass instead

practice with your weak foot.

PRACTICE WITH YOUR WEAK FOOT

you're not always going to have the ball

in your strong foot when you need to

pass

so that's why it's essential that your

weak foot is at the very least strong

enough to play a basic accurate pass

and if you're a beginner the only way to

make that happen is repetition where you

practice your basic passing technique

with your weak foot over

and over

and over again

master basic pass technique

MASTER BASIC PASS TECHNIQUE

this one is pretty simple

to be a great passer you must first

master the basic pass technique

where you use the inside of your foot

point your plant foot toward your target

and strike straight through the center

of the ball

and how do you master it once again you practice over and over and over again learn to pass first time.

 LEARN TO PASS FIRST TIME

you don't always need to hit a pass

first time but sometimes it's necessary

take this clip for example if the

attacker were to take a touch here

then it might give the defender time to

get across and defend the teammate he's trying to pass to but because he plays the past first time his teammate gets the ball in space and creates a goal know your teammate's ability to control.

KNOW YOUR TEAMMATE'S ABILITY TO CONTROL

the truth is some players are capable of

controlling more difficult passes

and some are not

so if you find yourself in a situation

where you can get the ball to a teammate but to do so the pass will need to be hard or in the air just make sure before you pass it that your teammate can actually control the ball and if they can't then it's probably better to just not   play the pass it all.
