Set Up:

Two pairs of players are set up at opposite ends of the long grid. Player 1 begins the drill with a long driven pass across the grid to Player 2. Player 2 combines with Player 3 (wall pass, double pass, overlap) and drives the ball back across the grid to Player 4. Player 1 shows for the next pass and combines with Player 4 to send it back across. The drill continues back and forth across the grid in this pattern. Players 1 and 4 change positions with each turn, as do Players 2 and 3.

Coaching Points:

1.  Before the long pass is struck, show yourself and talk to your partner. 

2.  Play the back pass with one touch and take most of the pace off of the long ball.

3.  The long pass is a driven ball, struck hard with the instep. 

Progressions:

1.  Add a third player at each end of the grid.
