__//**Through passes:**//__


 * Ground**: Ground Through Passes are very impontant kinds of passing. When your forward is right between two defenders,and after the, there is open space and a goalie, you kick the ball about 10 yards in front of them, and put aa little swerve. Don't kick the ball too long or else it will go to the Goalie. Kick a ground through pass like a regular pass.


 * Lob**: Kick the ball like a cross, with sweve. You usually want to use this when your through pass is going to cover like half the distance of the field.
