The Wall Pass
The "Wall Pass" is also referred to as the "Give and Go" or "1-2 Pass". It is most often used to exploit a situation were two players are facing one opponent, or one player passes to the feet of a tightly marked teammate who returns the pass through two defenders. The angle at which the ball returns will vary and the execution should be swift and accurate.
The Wall Pass is most effective in tight restricted areas such as the midfield and attacking third. Consideration should be
given to the following when executing the Wall Pass.
Distance from the receiving player, 15 yards or under.
Good paced ball to receiving player to enable a "first time" return pass.
Receiving player should be in a position to be able to return the pass "first time".
Timing of the support run. Don't over-run the return pass.
Change of speed after receiving the return pass.
