Week 2 – Passing & Receiving

Module: Master The Ball: 1-11 Years Old Classroom: Use The 360TFT Game Model Original Location: https://www.skool.com/football-coaching-academy-5676/classroom

Session Focus

Passing & Receiving: Short Passes and Basic Control Techniques

Develop short passing and receiving confidence using both feet. Emphasise direction, weight of pass, body shape, and first touch. Build timing, coordination, and early understanding of combination play.

Structure & Flow of Session

1. Ball Mastery Warm-Up (10 mins)

Age 1-6: Basic ball manipulation exercises with fun themes Age 7-11: More complex footwork patterns with increased tempo

2. Contextual Game Scenario (15 mins)

Age 1-6: Simple passing games with partners Age 7-11: Passing exercises under light pressure

3. Small Sided Game (15 mins)

Age 1-6: Fun games encouraging passing Age 7-11: Conditioned games rewarding passing and receiving

4. Match-Related Play (15–20 mins)

Age 1-6: Free play with minimal rules Age 7-11: Small-sided matches with passing focus

Why This Structure Works

• Builds a connection between players through purposeful repetition
• Aligns with real-game situations — passing under light pressure, scanning, and movement
• Reinforces thinking before acting: players learn to prepare, decide, and execute
• Keeps the learning loop open from warm-up to free play
