Any advice on how to improve passing?

Benjamin Grigg

I coach an U15s B team. The standard is generally quite poor, but we are trying to improve, currently 5th in the league out of 10. We have lost our last 4. Question is, our passing seems to be letting us down constantly. I have tried different sessions but they can't seem to make it work during a game. Has anyone got any ideas at all? It makes me feel a bit useless sometimes. We are definitely good enough to be top 2. Thanks.

    Hiya - what aspects of the passing seems not to be working? The choice of pass, the type of pass, when to pass etc?

    Hi Tim.

    I would say some players never actually look up, they just run like a bull to a rag.

    Other players play either the wrong pass, a long pass (which is difficult at this standard) or the wrong power in the pass 

    Other players don't seem to know which runs to make or how to make themself available to an easy pass 

    We have tried the basic passing sessions, some I've found on this site, others I've found on the coaching manual website. I've even been on YouTube. Anything too technical I'm scared they won't understand or take on board. I've done Rondo's, 2v2 on a small pitch, 2v1, 3v2. They seem to do those alright but when match day comes it's all forgotten. We've done 6v6 attacking with a big goal and a keeper. They struggle with that as it mimics a match attacking situation. 

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks
