PASSING

List 5 teaching points for the push pass
1. Use the inside of the foot

DRIVEN PASS
The approach to the ball is the same as with the short sidefoot pass.
Approach the ball at an angle of about 30 degrees so that you have
room to swing your kicking leg through.
Position your non-kicking foot close to the side of the ball, use your
arms for balance and keep your head still and eyes on the ball.
LOFTED PASS
DEFENDING
JOCKEYING
Jockeying denies your opponent time and space, and it's a good
tactic to allow your team-mates to get back in position.
Try to stay within an arm's length of your opponent to increase the
pressure on them.
BLOCK TACKLE
When you think you can win the ball, your weight should move
forward as you prepare to tackle with the inside of your foot.
This will probably be just as your opponent looks to either pass the
ball or knock it past you.
TURNING
CRUYFF TURN
Shape your body as if you were going to pass or cross the ball.
But then drag the ball behind your standing leg with the inside of
your foot.
STOP TURNS
Just place one foot on top of the ball to halt its path.
The key is is to stop your run as quickly as possible.
Then using your planted foot to pivot and push off with, turn your
body.
DRAG BACK
It begins with your foot on top of the ball.
The foot stays in contact with the ball for the whole of the move.
After rolling the ball back you move off in the opposite direction
OUTSIDE HOOK
As you approach the ball, be lively on your feet.
Use the outside of the foot to hook the ball back in the direction that
you want to go.

THE DREADED OFFSIDE RULE
A player is in an offside position if "he is nearer to his opponents' goal
line than both the ball and the second to last opponent," unless he is in his
own half of the field of play. A player level with the second to last
opponent is not in an offside position. Note that the last two opposing
players can be either the goalkeeper and an outfield player, or two
outfield players. Unless the ball is played backwards.
The blue forward on the left of the diagram is in an offside position as he
is both in front of the second to last defender (marked by the dotted
line) and the ball. ote that this does not necessarily mean he is
committing an offside offence.
