What kind of pass to give a teammate?

Giving your teammate a perfect ball with a message on what to do is important. Making the pass easy for your teammate to control or do something with is what the whole passing process is about. To know what type of pass to give here are the things you need to look out for. 

1. How good is he at receiving: This will vary from player to player. You have to see if the person you're passing to can receive a certain type of pass. If he can't do something specific eliminate that by either putting the ball slowly or to the side to avoid a bad first touch, or you could find a different passing option. 

2. How much pressure does he have: Watch behind him and see if someone is coming to press him, if so then which side are they coming from. Play the ball on the opposite side of pressure, so that he can take a good first touch and loose the defender. See how fast the pressure is coming in? does the ball have time to go to him or do I need to pass it harder. 

3. How far is he: I'm still learning to manage the weight of my passes. I sometimes give a really hard pass even when someone is close by, I need to pass it slow, this also tells him the ball is for him otherwise he might think a hard pass is for someone behind him and then leave it. Obviously more distance requires you to pass harder.

4. What do you want him to do: Do you want him to go to a specific side? Play the ball to the foot on that side. Do you want him to run forward? play the ball a little into the space you want him to go in and he will naturally run towards the ball and hopeful take the queue and keep moving into the space ahead.

5. How fast is he moving: I struggle with this as well. I miscalculate the speed at which my teammate is running at and pass it to him, by the time he reaches it, the balls behind him. However fast he is you'll have to calculate how much in front of him you want to pass the ball. The idea is that you play it in front of him in such a way that the ball is just slowing down when he reaches it. 

These are things I need to work on and watch more about
