passing

Bogdan Beiu

Hi

I am an U10 boys grassroots coach. I have in my team 4 players  which are really good with dribbling. They don't want to pass. They don't like to pass. I am doing a lot of passing practices and when we are doing that they respond good at it, but when they are in practice matches or real matches they never pass. I am speaking with them regularly explaining that in a team is important to dribbling, and the same importance have passing and team play...

What are your advices on this matter?

I kind of I am out of options here.

    Hi  

    Thank you for the question. Something I do to promote passing within the team is the number of passes in the build up to a goal is how many the goal is worth. For example, 5 passes and a goal = 5 goals. This way one team may have lots of dribblers and be 2-0, 3-0 up but the opposition suddenly score a goal from 6 goals and they're winning now. Suddenly, you will find players passing a lot more to earn more goals.

    Also, think about challenging players individually. Can they assist a teammate in a game 3 times? Focus on challenging players and referring back to those challenges. Try using tools like whiteboards/tactics boards where players can write how many assists/passes they made in a certain amount of time. 

    Finally, sitting down with your players and explaining why passing is so important will help them to change their mindset however this does take time so be patient. One message I use is that passing the ball and constantly moving it makes it harder for the opposition to defend against us.

    Please see the link below for a number of passing practices too, you can also add different filters when searching on there.
