Physical Education (Football-Passing with the inside of the foot)

Passing with the inside of the foot 

                    The objective of passing is to move the ball quickly among teammates in order to keep it away from opponents and, ultimately, in order to put the ball into a position for a shot on goal.

           The “inside of the foot” or “push” pass represents the most basic pass in soccer.  The youngest players are usually introduced to the inside of the foot pass first because it is the easiest to learn, it is effective over short distances, and it does not require much leg strength.  Although it is a little awkward at first for young beginners, the push pass provides the highest level of control because the shape of the inside of the  foot conforms to the shape of the ball.
