Next is the combination of the crossing drill. Crossing is an enhanced type of pass in which one player finds his fellow teammate with a lobbed pass, which usually comes from the wing side. In this one player takes a position on the wing side of the field while the other player is in the D area. The winger crosses the ball to his partner in a lobbed manner and the player inside the D has to make contact with the ball to direct it goal-wards.

The final passing drill that completes the passing category of exercises is the one touch and move passing drill. In this, players just have a single touch at their disposal and have to pass the ball to their partner immediately. This allows the team to build chemistry of passing amongst them and also enhances the quick off the ball movement.
