  • Setup

    Form pairs and distribute pairs evenly around 4 corners of a 10m square (use transverse lines).

  • Step 1

    Pair (A) start by BOTH players leading. Coach feeds to the best option.

  • Step 2

    The second player in pair (A) then makes a run - roughly towards pair (B) - and receives the pass

  • Step 3

    Pair (B) repeat this action by both leading. (A) chooses the best option, (B)'s share the ball, and so on.

  • Step 4

    Advanced level progression: Introduce a defender who works really hard for 30 seconds trying to intercept
    Defender works 4 cones and must work explosively before tiring and being replaced
    Decision making becomes harder, so take a moment longer to decide
    Use fake pass or look-away pass to throw the defender
