Outside-Foot Split Pass — Show Inside, Bend Around Pressure
A technical passing practice where the receiver shapes to play inside but uses the outside of the foot to bend a pass around a pressing reference into the next lane.
Save time planning sessions with FUTNIVO.
Organization
Set three staggered stations across a 20x14m area with one cone acting as the pressure reference. Ball travels into the central receiver, who opens toward the inside option before playing with the outside of the foot into the far target lane. Rotate positions after each action.
Coaching Points
Scan before receiving | Sell the inside pass with body shape | Lock the ankle on outside-foot contact | Bend the ball around pressure rather than through it | Move immediately after the release
Progressions
- Replace the cone with a passive then active defender who can block the obvious passing lane.
Regressions
- Increase the passing lane width and allow the receiver to set the ball before using the outside-foot pass.
