Players should be shown which parts of the feet are used to pass (e.g., inside, outside, instep, heel, toe) and then exposed to activities that allow them to experiment. Do not expect intricate passing to occur. This age group does not possess the spatial awareness to allow them to combine with each other, especially from within the pressure of the bunch. Let them have fun, and slowly they will learn the advantages of passing.

• Moving Targets: Have players move in a confined space with a ball. Every other ball represents a moving target. Ask players to keep track of the number of targets they hit in a given amount of time. Repeat and beat your record.

• Quick Pass: ask players to make as many quick passes as they can while moving in a confined area (in pairs.) Again, set a time limit and repeat to beat record.

• Soccer Golf: Lay out a golf course with cones and ask players to count the number of passes it takes to complete the course of hitting each of the cones in sequence. Repeat and beat your own record.

• Soccer Bowling: Give 3 cones to 2 players.  Ask one player to set up the cones while another tries to knock them down from 3 to 10 yards away. Alternate roles.

• Turkey Shoot: Set down a dozen cones over a wide area. Explain to the players that they are going on a turkey shoot. The cones are the turkeys. Ask them to keep track of how many turkeys they shoot and to reset cones they knock over.

• Passing Through Bridges: Ask half of the team to assume a bridge-like position (Bend over and place your hands on the ground so that you form an arch. Put space between each bridge. Instruct the other players to dribble around and pass through any bridge at will. The passers must get down and crawl though each bridge as they pass through.

• Two Against One: Ask 2 players to pass around one any way that they can. Alternate the middle player.

• Wall training: Find a wall, pass against the wall and trap the rebound.
