There are 2 sets of cones or flat discs preferably. 2 different colours (helps if you have same cones same bib colours) One player to a cone, red players with red cones and yellow with yellow. One red player on the end start with the ball and the other ball at the other end with the yellow player. 1) Players just have to pass to someone with their colour near their cones until the ball has reached the other end. A good rule is to make sure every player touches the ball at least once before it reaches the end. 2 balls will be working simultaneously in opposite directions. When ball reaches the end they can come back the other way. 2 min and tell everyone to find a new cone. 2) Competition! Quickest team to get the ball from one end to the other by every teammate touching the ball. 3) Now players have to follow their pass with the last person dribbling through the middle to the other end to restart the drill, allow practice then apply competition rules. Works on shape while getting players lots of touches and figuring out the best way to successfully get the ball to the other end quickly. Short quick passing will prevail hopefully, help with tips about weight of pass and movement.
