Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Understand the One Touch Pass

1. Remember the one touch pass requires you to time your kick for the moment the ball approaches your feet, so you kick the ball to your teammate with the first touch.

2. Expect to run to the ball as it is fed to you from another player.

3. Lead your teammate with the pass you send her.

5. Run down the field as your friend dribbles the soccer ball in the same direction.

6. Keep an eye on the ball and signal for your friend to pass it to you.

7. Time your steps right as you approach the passed ball so you can kick the ball with your right foot.

8. Kick the ball back to your friend with one single kick to complete the one touch soccer pass.

9. Get your friend to attempt the one touch pass back to you.

10. Work on passes with the inside of your right foot and the outside of your right foot by having your passes come to you from both sides of your body.

• Get several friends together to practice one touch passes around the soccer field.
• Don't lead your teammate too far with your pass or the other team may take possession of the ball.
