The drill starts with player 3 moving to the red cone and then coming back to receive pass from player 1.
Once player 3 has received the ball player 2 runs forward in support and receives the ball from player 3.
Player 2 controls and then plays a long switch ball to the wide player 4 who is on the move down the line.
The wing player then runs down the line and swings in a cross for the 3 other players to run onto and attack!
