soccer game movement help

I'm in the process of just playing about with a basic soccer game in Java that I'm hoping to build on. basically what I currently have is two players on the field with one attempting to pass to the other. the problem I'm having is, I think path-finding related. having one player pass to another player is ok as long as both players are either diagonally/horizantally in line with each other - my problem is that if the pass isn't a straight line. what I'm currently doing is checking where the player A is that will be receiving the pass, checking where the player B is making the pass and trying to figure out an algorithm that would make the pass move in a straight line. can anyone give me some hints/clues what direction I should be moving in for this problem? any help would be greatly appreciated!
