Select a level
Each level teaches a single concept — surface, weather, timing, defender. Work through in order or jump to one that interests you.
Timing — meet the runner in stride.
Lead distance — weight the pass into future space.
Runner speed — lead scales with velocity.
Rolling resistance — long grass slows the ball.
Wet skid — the ball glides before it bites.
Mud slowdown — heavy ground kills the pass.
Wind — headwind holds the ball up.
Spin — curl bends the ball laterally.
Chipped pass — lift the ball over the cover.
Lofted pass — long air time, wind sensitive.
Interception lane — choose the pass type that dodges cover.
Optimal pass selection — solve the full system.
Moving pass — release the through ball before the defender steps.
Moving pass — open the body before switching play.
Moving pass — no dribble, just timing.
Moving pass — release before the presser arrives.
Moving pass — hips shut, contact scrambled.
Two defenders — one presses, one covers the lane.
Signal the receiver — check, hold, or spin in behind.
String passes together
Multi-pass build-ups — each leg flows from where the receiver caught the previous ball. Finish inside the objective zone or the move breaks down.
Three-pass build-up from the back into the final third.
Objective: Final third — right channel
Switch the play across, then attack down the new side.
Objective: Penalty arc
Three-pass counter on a heavy, skiddy surface.
Objective: Counter receiving zone
Bounce pass, layoff, runner attacks the space behind.
Objective: Third-man arrival
Corners, wide free kicks, throw-ins
Delivery puzzles into the box — a thinking goalkeeper holds the line, walls and markers block the lane. Beat them in the air or with shape and find the runner.
Curl it past the keeper to the back-post run.
Target: Back-post zone
Float it over the wall, away from the keeper, onto the runner.
Target: Six-yard box
Flat, fast trajectory into the box. No wall, but a marker is tight.
Target: Six-yard box
Quick exchange, drag the keeper, cross to the back post.
Target: Cross receiver
