This week we look at a passing drill, called "The two versus
one passing drill".
A great drill in which to practice players'
passing and decision making skills.
" This is an excellent drill in which to practice players passing skills.
It also teaches players how to draw their man and very important,
in this drill they can practice their dummy passingskills. "

Key coaching points:
• Player with the ball should run at speed to commit the defender. If there is
no defender approaching, the ball carrier should continue running.
• As the defender approaches the ball carrier must run at the defender and  
the pass should be timed to allow B to score.  
Exercise / Drill explanation:
1. Player A receives a pass from the outside
player and runs forward at pace and commits
the defender to create an overlap for B.
2. Initially the defender C marks A only.
3. When technique improves the defender
can move towards player A or B.
4. As a progression the defenders may form
a single line up the field about 10m apart.
