Set Up:
Ten players are set up inside of the large grid. During play, the ten players pass three balls around the field in sequence, with Player 1 passing to Player 2, Player 2 passing to Player 3 and so on, until the ball reaches Player 10. Player 10 then passes to Player 1, and the cycle continues. The conditions of the drill may vary during play (see Progressions), and the direction of play can be reversed at any time.
Coaching Points:
1. Players should make eye contact and talk on every pass.
2. Players looking to receive should not get lost in a crowd (aka ‘hiding in dead space’).
3. Stay connected to the player you are passing to and receiving from.
Progressions:
1. Two touch limit.
2. Limit certain players to one touch.
