Passing and Receiving

The Diagonal Pass:

Players work in pairs, with one ball per pair.
The first player makes a square pass across the grid to their partner before running onto the cone ahead.
Their partner then plays a pass diagonally across the grid back to their partner who is looking to run onto the ball.
The player who started the drill then plays square across the grid again to their partner running onto the ball.
The players work their way up to the top of the grid.

Passing and Receiving

Throw in - Receive and Return:

Players start on the touchline and side-step quickly inside the pitch towards the blue cone.

When they reach the cone the red players should be ready to throw the ball to either the player's heads or chests.

Depending on the feed players should either head the ball straight back to the feeder's feet or control and then play the return pass.

The red player then plays a wide pass for the blue player to run onto. Once the blue player has run onto the pass they join the back of the feeders' line and the red player runs to the start line.
