  • Setup

    Even numbers at stations (A - D)
  • Step 1

    The pattern is quite simple - pass straight ahead, then across the diagonal, straight ahead, across the diagonal.
    (A to B), (B to C), (C to D), (D to A)
    Everyone is leading towards the cone directly in front rather than at the player, e.g. (B) leads towards (A), (C) towards (D).
    Join the station you pass to
  • Step 2

    Progression 1: Reverse the flow of play with random calls of 'change!'
  • Step 3

    Progression 2: Have a defender in the middle who pressures the passer
    This will force higher passes
    Rotate this defender when they tire
