The player who receives the pass must then repeat the process and the sequence continues.


Coaching Points: The player must accelerate immediately after making the pass to the coach and should
use short, powerful steps while maintaining good posture.


Coach the weight and accuracy of both passes: For the one-touch pass, the player must adjust their body
as they are about to make contact with the ball so that their hips are facing the target. In addition, follow
through of the passing leg should be towards the target.


Variation: Have the players vary the way they make the initial pass. They can use the outside of the foot
closest to the coach, or they can do a step-over before passing.


Progression: You can progress this activity by increasing the running distance between the two large
cones (20 to 25 yards) so that it now incorporates maximum speed.
