Teloframe OfficialReviewed by Teloframe

Diamond Passing Pattern

Groove crisp passing with movement off the ball. Pass to the correct foot, follow your pass to the next point, and check away before you receive to create the angle. Raise the tempo toward one touch as you warm up.

Setup & instructions

Set a diamond of four cones about ten metres apart with a player on each. Pass to the next point and follow your pass to that cone; the player there receives and plays on. Check away from the cone before receiving. Progress to one touch, then reverse the direction to pass at new angles and use both feet.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Pass to the correct foot so the next player can play first time
  • Follow your pass to the next point: pass and move as one habit
  • Check away from the cone before you receive to open the angle
  • Weight the pass so it arrives at a controllable pace
  • Open the body to see the next point before the ball arrives
  • Communicate and keep the tempo high

Common mistakes

  • Passing and standing still instead of following the pass
  • Receiving flat-footed on the cone without checking away
  • Passing to the wrong foot and breaking the rhythm
  • Over-hitting the pass so the next player cannot control it

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • One touch only once players are warm
  • Reverse the direction to pass at new angles and use both feet
  • Pass across the diamond, or add a one-two between two points

Regressions

  • Two touches: control and pass
  • Enlarge the diamond so passes have more time
  • Walk the pattern and the follow before adding pace
