Soccer Passing Drill - Short Short Long

Organization
Split the girls into groups of three. One ball for each group. Create a grid using the midfield line and the top of the penalty box as boundaries. Place one cone about 10 yards from midfield and another about 10 yards from the penalty box for each grid. Girl A starts at midfield in front of the cone, Girl B starts on the penalty box in line with the other cone, and Girl C starts on the cone in front of Girl A. Girl A has the ball.

Procedure
On go, Girl A makes a short pass to Girl C, who receives with one touch and makes a return short pass to Girl A. Girl A receives the ball, sets herself up, and makes a long pass to Girl B. Girl A sprints down to the cone in front of Girl B, and Girl C moves to the opening created by Girl A. Girl B now makes a short pass to Girl A, who receives and plays a return short pass back to Girl B. Girl B receives, sets herself, and makes a long pass to Girl C. Repeat.

Coaching Points

Pass and move!

Soft touches when receiving the ball

On the long pass, set yourself up with a small nudge of the ball
