Drill

Instructions

1. 1Position two mannequins as center backs 18 yards apart.
2. 2Have a runner check away then spin in behind the gap.
3. 3Weight a firm pass along the ground into the runner's path, not to feet.
4. 4Time the release to the runner's shoulder drop, not before.

What to focus on

Passing into space ahead of the run, weighted for the runner's speed.

Common mistake

Releasing the pass too early before the defender's gap opens.
