Passing Drills
Weight, angle and timing: wall passing for one, rondos and triangles for a group. 10 drills from Spatrian’s programme, each with its set-up, its steps and what to watch for. Put any of them in a session with the practice plan builder.
Wall Passing (Solo) / Partner Passing
Stand 5-8m apart. Pass the ball back and forth using the inside of the foot.
Rondo 3v1
Three players keep possession against one defender in small grid.
Triangle Passing
Three players form triangle, pass and follow or pass and move.
Two-Grid Transition Rondo
Keep the ball in one grid, then break into the next one the moment it opens up.
Up, Back and Through
Pass in, get it laid back, then slide it through for the runner. Three players, one moving ball.
Blind-Side Check and Slip Pass
One player disappears behind the defender's shoulder; the other slides it into the gap.
3v1 Keep-Away with Split Passes
Keep-away where a pass played between the defender's legs or either side of them is worth double.
Weak Foot Only
Two minutes against a wall using nothing but the foot they avoid.
Kick-In to a Runner
Take futsal's kick-in from a still ball on the line, within the four seconds the Laws allow, and pass into a teammate's run along the floor.
Outside-of-the-Foot Wall Pass
Passes off a wall with the outside of the foot, the pass that disguises where the ball is going, from four steps back in a garage or a basement.

Every drill, read aloud and on the record
In Spatrian the Audio Coach talks a player through these drills while they play, and each run goes on their own training record, which their coach or personal trainer can read. The beta is opening to a small first group of players, coaches and families.
