Passing – Risk vs Reward

Purpose of the Drill:

This drill helps players improve their passing ability and teaches them the principles of risk vs reward. 

How it Works:

  • Create two teams with equal numbers.
  • Set up 3 zones. Zone 3 should be set to your player’s maximum passing distance or a distance that gives your team a maximum reward. Zone 2 should be set to a safe and comfortable passing distance.
  • The passing player of the attacking team stands in zone 1 (with or without a player defending the pass).
  • Zone 2 and 3 have an equal number of players (defenders & attackers). The number of players in each zone depends on your sport and the size of your zones.
  • The passer attempts to pass the ball to a team member in Zone 2 or Zone 3. And continues to do this for 30 seconds.
  • A successful pass into Zone 2 earns the attacking team 1 point, however an unsuccessful pass into Zone 2 deducts 1 point from the team’s total.
  • A successful pass into Zone 3 earns the attacking team 5 points, however an unsuccessful pass into Zone 3 deducts 5 points from the team’s total.
  • Teams take it in turn to attack and defend.
  • Players rotate positions after each minute (after each team has 1 attempt each of passing).
  • The team with the most points, after everyone on the team has had an attempt of passing, is declared the winner.

Coaching Tips:

  • Players can win the game for their team whilst attacking and defending.
  • Attacking receivers should work together to make passes easier for the passer (block, create space, talk/ direct to each other, etc).
  • Defenders should work together for complete defence (swap opponents, zone off, talk/direct each other, etc).
