Multiball passing

Organisation

• Mark out an 11m x 11m exercise area.

• Distribute the players evenly around the edges of the exercise area. 

• Give 5 players a ball.

Explanation

• The players with a ball dribble into the exercise area simultaneously.

• Each player makes eye contact with a player positioned around the outside of the exercise area before passing the ball to them. 

• The passer swaps position with the recipient, and the recipient dribbles the ball into the exercise area.

Variation 1

• The passer plays a bounce pass with a player on the outside of the exercise area before passing the ball to another outside player.

Variation 2

• Introduce more balls into the exercise and ask players to increase the tempo at which they perform the exercise.

Coaching point

• Players should dribble at pace while keeping their head up in order to make eye contact with the intended recipient of their pass.
