Abstract:
The purpose of this observational study was to determine the proportion of multiple-sequence passes made by members of a college soccer team during a series of games. The hypothesis was that the proportion of multiple-sequence passes would increase with practice and experience. The data obtained did not support this hypothesis. In the main, the proportion of single, double, triple, and quadruple(plus) passes did not change over the period of eight games, and there was no correlation between wins and losses and the types of passes made. Some of the reasons for this result are proposed together with suggestions for future research.
