Coaching Manual: Passing and Movement

This document describes a soccer drill to help teams improve passing and movement. The drill involves two teams, Team Red and Team Yellow, positioned in a practice area marked with goals. Team Yellow starts with the ball and passes it through the goals, trying to score, while Team Red defends. Then the teams switch roles, with Team Red trying to score and Team Yellow defending. The drill emphasizes the importance of off-ball running and movement to create scoring opportunities through passing. Coaches should encourage players to be aware of their options and change the point of attack.
