Zig Zag Relay:

The player with the ball passes to the next player and follows the direction of the ball using a side step.

The player who receives the ball does the same and so on to the last player who receives the ball and runs around the group to the first cone and restarts the drill.

Passing

Hands up / Hands Down:

Set up the players in a circle.

All players have their hands in the air (except the ball carrier), the ball carrier can pass to anyone in the circle as long as they are :-

Not directly next to them.

Still have their hands in the air.

Passing

Pass within a channel:

Set up the 10m x 40m Grid as shown.

4 cones and 1 ball per group.

Split the group into teams of three. On the coaches command the players start running up the channel passing between them, once they reach the end they turn around and come back repeating the passing.

Passing

Don't get tagged:

Teams of 3 against 1 Defender.

The team of 3 start running and have to try and get to the other side. If the defender tags them they have to pass the ball, if a try is scored then then one point is awarded.

Defender swap around with the judge - person that calls pass after every tag.
