Set Up:

Six players are set up inside of the grid, working back and forth between the cones. To begin the drill, Player 1 passes up to Player 2 (or Player 3). Player 2 plays the ball square to Player 3, who then plays the ball back to Player 1. Player 1 strikes a first time pass up to Player 4. Players 2 and 3 then run to support Player 4 as he begins his turn. The pattern continues with the central players (1, 4, 5 and 6) working in a shuttle fashion, while Players 2 and 3 continue to make the supporting runs. Every 30-60 seconds, two new players rotate to the support positions.

Coaching Points:

1.  Player 3 plays the ball back to the nearest foot, allowing Player 1 to play quickly.

2.  Player 1 has to hold his run and let the play develop.

3.  The support players should set up as if a defender were in front of the ball.

Progressions:

1.  Limit the players to one touch.
