How To Pass A Soccer Ball
If you want to learn how to pass a soccer ball this video tutorial is for you. I’ve used one of my soccer players to identify a few mistakes with her passing technique. Even after a few adjustments you can already see more quality, confidence, and consistency in her passing technique.
In my opinion…
Passing and receiving are the two most important soccer skills. Yet, most players and even coaches overlook these basics. I don’t care if you can dribble past 5 players at once or score from 30 years if you can’t keep possession of the ball.
Always start with the basics.
And…
Always work to improve the basics.
Even at my age I’m still learning my passing technique isn’t as good as I think is. For that reason, I’m always adding up repetitions and analyzing every single pass to constantly improve.
If you want to specifically learn how to pass a soccer ball with your weak foot this video is for you.
Watch the tutorial below and I’ll follow up with some helpful passing tips lower down in this blog post.

The best soccer players rarely give the ball away but this only comes from extreme attention to detail.
Once you learn how to pass a soccer ball correctly with both feet, you can start to increase distance, play with the outside of the foot, or practice passing on the move.
This tutorial was specifically about how to pass a soccer ball with the inside of your foot. In a different soccer tutorial, I’ll talk about passing with the outside of your foot because I believe both techniques are extremely important.
However…
