Set up a triangle as shown.
4 players on the outside, 2 on 1 cone and 1 on each of the other 2 cones. 1 ball between the group.
The ball is with the 1st player in the cone with 2. A 1,2 is played with the next player in the triangle and then a long pass is made to the next player on.
The sequence is repeated at each point of the triangle and thus the pattern of passing is alternative short and long passes around the triangle.
Players move 1 cone on after completing the long pass.
The distance between the cones can be modified depending on how hard you want your players to work and the distance of passing that you want to work on.
Ensure you get good acceleration after each player makes their second (long) pass..
The long passes should be firm while the short passes should be weighted according to the distance of the players from each other.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
