Passing & Receiving drills for U6-U8

Passing and receiving are the foundation of possession football - and they should be developed from the earliest years in ways children can understand and enjoy.

Passing & Receiving contains 27 practical exercises for U6-U8, helping young players improve their first touch, passing technique, movement and ability to play with teammates.

Inside, you will find exercises covering:

• Passing with the inside of the foot
• Receiving and controlling the ball
• Passing accuracy and timing
• Moving after the pass
• Playing through gates and targets
• Passing triangles and combinations
• Decision-making in small game situations

Every exercise includes a clear diagram, organisation and execution details, coaching points, common errors, coaching questions, regressions, progressions and game-transfer ideas.

This is a practical coaching resource for building players who are comfortable on the ball and capable of keeping possession with purpose.

Suitable for: grassroots coaches, academy coaches and parents working with U6-U8 players.
