4-Ball Grid Passing | Nonstop Passing & Support

Overview

• For every player, from U11 all the way up to adults
• Great for players who want to lock in their basic passing
• Really pays off for players who need to handle several balls at once and speed up their decisions

Objectives

• Sharpen passing accuracy
• Learn to move early and get into good positions
• Build the habit of making a support run after every single pass
• Make faster, better decisions under pressure — and execute quicker

Setup

This is a passing drill run in a 40m x 30m grid with four balls moving at the same time. Players start in the four corners, pass in a set sequence, and are always moving to support the next pass.

1）Put 3–4 players in each corner of the grid (about a 10m square in each corner)

2）Give each area one ball, so you’ve got four balls going at once

3）Players pass in the set sequence — whoever receives it plays it straight on to the next player

4）The second a player passes, they get moving to a spot where the next player can find them easily

5）Run it on the clock (about 3 minutes) and push for cleaner passes and better tempo
