Passing Guide
Passing in football has always been an essential part of the game as it allows you to move the ball with your teammates to better secure the ball and delivering it to the goal. Passing gets you out of tough situations where you might be boxed in by several opponents, allows you to quickly traverse the ball towards the goal and to pass it to teammates to score the goal that will ultimately win you the game.
Push Pass
Push passes are the most basic fundamentals of passing. Push passes are done by passing directly to your teammate. It is much safer to execute as you will have full vision of your ally and the pass is done forwards as well. Use your push passes to quickly pass the ball when being pressured by enemies who are catching up.
Backward Pass
Backward passes are defensive passes that pass the ball towards your teammates positioned in the back. Use this when your path forwards is guarded heavily by opponents and a steal might take place. Backward passes are passes that tucks and secures your ball so you can re-initiate for another attack towards your enemy when you have difficulty moving the ball forwards.
Long Pass
Long passes are used when you have an open teammate across the opposite end of the field. Long passes are best used when enemies get distracted to the one who’s going to pass leaving their back very vulnerable. You can then use this in turn to quickly secure a goal while your other opponents are just catching up to your teammate.
Piercing Pass
Piercing passes are done to quickly and accurately pass towards your teammate inside closely guarded areas. This type of pass is usually done when you are cornered and want a quick escape or to simply just outmaneuver your enemy and outpace them. Piercing passes, however, are very hard to execute and can even lead to a steal as most opponents will already expect you to do one once you’re cornered.
Wall Pass
Wall passes are done by passing to your teammate playing as wing so that you are temporarily freed of the ball and the opponents’ focus, and then back to you again to quickly divide their attention. Wall passes can be done continuously to outpace your enemy and confuse them.
