Wall Passing

Setup: 

Create a line of players near each sideline. Both lines will be going but not at the exact same time. Also place three players about ten yards apart on each side of the field spaced out. These players will act as a wall and will be to the left of the line on the right and to the right of the line on the left. Place a goalkeeper in the net. 

Execution: 

1. The players at the beginning of each line will pass the ball to each player in the wall and sprint down the sideline as they go.
2. Each player in the wall will just one touch the ball to the player sprinting down the sideline.
3. The sprinting player will eventually get the pass from the last player in the wall and will be near the corner.
4. The player will cross the ball.
5. The ball should then be played by the goalie.
6. Each line needs to make sure they don’t go at the same time so that the goalie has time
   to play each ball.
7. Also, after the sprinting player crosses the ball, he should become the last player in the
   wall. Each player in the wall moves up a spot so that the first player in the wall will go to the end of the line of sprinting players.
   

Coaching Tips: 

This drill will work on players conditioning, passing, running, trapping, and crossing the ball. It will also give the goalie a chance to work on stopping crosses.
