Three players line up across the width of the pitch, these players are the return passers. When they receive a pass they throw it immediately back to the player who passed to them.

The remainder of the players have a ball each and start on the sideline. Their job is to run the width of the pitch, passing the ball to all the return passers, catching the return pass and then carrying on to the next player.

When they reach the other side of the pitch they run around the cone and then dribble as fast as they can to the back of the queue.

Players work in groups of three with one ball per group.

The worker (player 2) passes the ball to the feeder (player 1) and then follows their pass, looping behind the feeder.

Once they are behind the feeder they then call for the return pass which they then offload to the next player in line.

Drill continues in this way.

One player stands at the top of the triangle, this player is the feeder. They stand in front of the three other players who are stood in a line.

The feeder throws a simple overarm to each player. When the ball is passed to them players should advance to meet the pass and then return it to the feeder.
