When To Use A Passing Session
Use a session when the child needs rhythm, aim, and first touch in one practice. A single drill can help, but it often leaves the adult guessing what to do next.
First Session To Run
Start with the 15-minute U8 passing session. It uses a wall pass, a target gate, and a first-touch box, so the practice has a beginning, a middle, and a finish.
