TEAM
DEVELOPMENT
PASSING
The
ability to pass is important when a team wants to maintain possession.
When we have possession, the other team is chasing. It costs a lot of
energy to run without the ball. It costs less effort to keep the ball
in the team. Teach your players patience and playing simple.
