The Push Pass

This week, the P1s are learning how to do the push pass as a lead up to soccer.

The cues emphasised can be remembered using the 3Ps:

Plant the non-kicking leg next the ball.

Place the kicking leg behind the ball.

Push the ball forward with the inside of foot and then follow-through.
