Technical actions in football base: The Pass and Control

The pass is the technical action par excellence in football, this action can perform all other actions, which is said to be the fundamental technical action. The pass is the principle of collective game (Carrera, Oscar 2013). 

With the pass we can keep the ball, to achieve the main objective of the game scoring a goal. In addition to the pass is achieved secondarily keep fit goal, second objective more important in football.

The pass is the technical action is to send the ball to a teammate by a touch (Carrera, Oscar 2013).

With the pass, we can give it speed up the game, or decrease the speed of this, as it suits us. The pass requires great precision and control with your feet and is why it is one of the most important aspects that must be trained in lower categories.

A great pass reduces fatigue, facilitates progression, prevents injuries, clarifies confusing situations ... (Carrera, Oscar 2013).

There are various types of passes, long pass, short pass and half distance pass. A pass can be satin or by air. It must be said that the ball can be given by various parts of the foot, Each pass with a foot area has a specific name and its own characteristics. Also you can give passes to other parts of the body like the chest, head ..., but these passes would be used as resources and is not recommended a thorough training in lower categories.

There is exist the inside of the foot pass, which is the conventional pass, security and most used the pass. With the instep foot pass, which is normally used for long shipments, shooting ... and finally exist the pass with the toe or toes, the clearance with the heel of the foot, pass the ball with the outside of the foot or pass with the sole pass (Pass depressed), which are used in unusual way, more resources are the players with experience gained over the years.

For training pass control is essential. It is said to control and pass are closely linked, and it is true, since a great pass requires good control and for good control, it is easier if the previous pass is good.

Control can be done with all parts of the body except the hands and arms, but in lower categories ideally work over the inside of the foot and control with his chest, which are the two parts that give more safety and reliability for good control and what is more important later to make a good pass.

Finally it is said that for training in lower categories ideally training through the inside of the foot pass, once obtained this hability the young players can develop other types of passes, but always based on the pass with the inside foot, which as has been said is the main technique in collective action and particularly in football.
