Passing
may be defined as propelling the ball to a teammate in a fashion that
enables the receiver to control the ball.
Receiving may be defined as a controlled possession of the ball.
Good receiving skills are paramount to maintaining ball possession, and
then be able to quickly and effectively distribute or shoot the ball. With
the exception of a player's arms and hands, all other body parts (i.e.,
feet, thighs, chest, shoulders, and head) may be used to receive the ball.

The purpose of this test is to provide a means of obtaining a baseline
measure of fundamental soccer Receiving and Passing skills (control,
accuracy, and quickness). This skill test is simple to set up, and is
relatively easy for young children to follow. In addition, test practice
trials provide a fun and rewarding learning experience.
