The ankle is locked when the foot contacts the ball. The body's momentum should be carried through the pass for more power. Passing decision-making involves the player passing the ball and the teammates. Often the teammates without the ball are responsible for not giving the player with the ball adequate options. Players without the ball need to anticipate passing angles and passing lanes.
Players have to move into positions of open support.
One or touch restrictions in drills force players to move quickly into open areas. The player with the ball needs to also see these options quickly. Better players will see these options before the passes are received. Passing drills with lots of repetitive touches allow players to know how hard to kick the ball. The more practice, the better the pace of the passes.
