Each player uses their own ball to dribble and pass/shoot however they pass to a pug goal instead of a player. Players only go once a ball is "passed" to them. Player follow their pass to spot and wait for the drill to start again. Add cone "defender" to each spot after they have done a few rounds. Due to COVID no passing player to player is currently allowed. Players must be 10 feet distanced at all times.
Why are we doing this? Practice passing sideline to inside of field to move the ball down the field. Tica Taca
