A passing drill for defense and goalies

Set Up

Put the players either the width of the field, or you can set up around the goal. Ball starts with goalie and passes to a low wing. Defender makes a long cross field pass, then a short upfield pass, and then another long pass until it gets back to the goalie

Coaching Points & principles

  • Short and Long Passes
  • Ball Control
