Forward Passing in Advanced Areas

This document describes a practice drill for developing forward passing skills in football. The drill divides the field into zones and has teams of 3 players pass the ball forward through the central zones to target players in the end zones. The objectives are to pass through each central zone accurately and quickly, then pass to the target player in the end zone. Players must maintain positional balance between zones. Coaching points include challenging players to pass forward early, retain structure and balance, and choose accurate passes into congested areas.
