Wall Passes (Soccer)

A partner or wall-based soccer passing drill practicing the give-and-go combination. Develops passing accuracy, first-touch control, and movement off the ball.

How to do it

  1. 1Pass firmly to your partner or wall with the inside of your foot
  2. 2Immediately make a run into space after passing
  3. 3Receive the return pass with a soft first touch, keeping the ball close
  4. 4Alternate feet and practice at increasing speeds

Common mistakes

  • Standing still after the pass instead of moving into space
  • Using too much power for short-range passes
  • Poor first touch — ball bouncing too far from the body
