Set Up:

There are 12-16 players set up inside of the small field, working in pairs.  The players pass and move within the space, using the entire field and avoiding contact with the other players. Certain conditions can be put on the drill:

• Two touch passing only.

• Jump out from behind a player to receive.

• Check away before receiving.

• Turn away when receiving, and then turn back again.

Coaching Points:

1.  Players should not hide in dead space. They must show and call for the ball.  

2.  Before striking the pass, players should look up and check the target one more time.

3.  When a route closes down, fake the pass and look for another option.

Progressions:

1.  Players sprint for hitting other players with their ball.
