Comparing Elite to foundation.A

C

The difference between the foundation player and the elite player are circled above in these pictures e.g. The elite players head is up and looking towards the player he is about to make the pass to were as the foundation player is looking down and has to keep his eyes on the ball.

Improvement practice In this the players get into a pair and stand 15 yards away with a cone in the middle and complete a pass to the other player without hitting the cone. Also the two players only have two touches one for the touch and the other to pass back.

To increase the challenge of the drill you could form a triangle and pass the ball straight forward then follow your pass so then the next player makes his pass and follows it and repeat this for 5 minutes using only two touches.

Also if you want to make the drill even harder then split in to pairs and one person stands on the edge while the other person runs round looking for the pass of different people around the box from different angles.
