The Wall Pass
| The "Wall Pass" can be one of the most devastating methods of beating opponents in any area of the field. It is based on the idea of playing a ball against a wall at an angle and receiving the ball back roughly at the same angle. With a player replacing the wall, the technique is now used to beat an opponent. |
 |
| Practice |
| Start with the ball at the first cone and work along the length of the cones executing a wall pass on each cone, on reaching the last cone reverse and repeat the same practice, only now using the other foot to pass the ball. |
| What You Need to Know |
-
Release the ball about 2 yards from the cone, as the cone is a substitute for a defender, if the pass is
made too close then the defender will intercept it. - The most efficient surface to achieve this pass is with the instep, this also make it easier for the pass
to be disguised.
- Once the ball has been released you should accelerate and sprint into the space behind the cone to
receive the ball back from the wall.
- Try to practice disguising your pass before releasing it.
- A positive and aggressive frame of mind is essential.
