  • Setup

    Two opposing lines (1 & 2) are 4m apart, and the 4 cones on each are spaced about 2m apart. Give a ball to each (A)
  • Step 1

    (A)'s pass to one another
    One (A) uses a chest pass (over), the other a bounce pass (under)
    Next time (A)'s change who shoulder and bounce passes
  • Step 2

    The pattern for passing is then:-
    Retain current direction but skip the player opposite - (A's to B's), (B's to C's) (C's to D's)
    When it reaches (D)'s, they exchange passes like (A)'s - simultaneous chest and bounce passes
    Then work back the other way (D's to C's), (C's to B's), (B's to A's)
  • Step 3

    Both players with the same letter should be passing simultaneously, so use peripheral vision to keep in sync.
  • Step 4

    Option call for a variation in pass each ball, e.g.:-
    Ball 1: Shoulder pass
    Ball 2: Overhead pass
  • Step 5

    After 2-3 minutes, bring the lines an extra 2-4 m out; repeat using shoulder passes.
    Trickier for (A)'s and (D)'s!
