Dutch term or phrase: strakke pass
Flemish sports club has put together a glossary of football terms. Just list of words so no context to go on at times. Help/confirmation much appreciated with the following:

strakke, as in:
de pass (verre, laterale, strakke, harde, zachte, hoge lage)
quick pass, straight pass? Or perhaps accurate pass (i.e. well-directed to the feet of a team-mate)? Or perhaps all three? ;-)

tight pass
Explanation:
Ex:
Freshman center midfielder Katie Pesce sparked another MIT goal late in the game when she found junior striker Amy Ludlum with a tight pass that Amy turned past the WPI defense, cut toward goal and lifted over the goalie. The assist was Katie's second of the season. She now has four points on the year.

'flick pass' was tempting but couldn't find any Dutch confirmation for it. In fact one site talked about 'Strakke trap met binnenkant voet' whereas the glossary cited describes a flick pass as being made with the outside of the foot. So I think this is the best bet. Thanks, everyone.

Notes to answerer
Asker: You seem to be missing the point of the agree system slightly. Since you gave exactly the same answer as Lianne did (OK, at the same time because you hadn't seen her answer), all you can do is 'agree' with her answer! A 'neutral' makes no sense. Not a criticism - just a comment.
