This week's Online Soccer Academy video is geared towards beginner players and coaches of younger players. In the video you will learn how to do a wall pass and how to teach it to youth players. If you are an advanced player watching this OSA video you can apply this exercise to a shooting, crossing or more challenging exercise you create.

A wall pass, also know as a 1-2 or give in go, is a great way to pass around a defender instead of trying to dribble by a defender.

Key Points:
1. Communicate loud and clear by saying wall pass.

2. Sprint around defender, not in front of them.

3. Teammate passes the ball in the space in front of you.

4. Stay down at the other cone and once the whole line has gone, then turn around and go the other way.

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong:
If the wall pass looks slow it's because the teammate passing the ball is passing the ball behind the player making the run, not in front. Play the ball in front of your teammate making the run.

Bonus Tip!
Keep the lines small! If you have 10 players and two coaches then don't have one big line of 10, make two smaller lines of five and use both coaches as passers. Big lines lead to players getting bored and getting into trouble while waiting for their turn.

When first doing these exercises I like to have the coach be the passer. This way the exercise goes smooth and we limit bad passes on the wall pass throwing off the learning process. As you do this exercise more and more and players understand it have a player be the wall passer of the ball.

After doing this exercise in practice play a small sided game to goals or a scrimmage and give a bonus point when players make a wall pass.
