Description
Set up 2 different colored cones 3 yards apart. Line up a couple of players 5 yards away on a seperate cone. 1 player stands between the colored cones. The first person in line passes to the Player between the cones and calls a color. The player must receive the ball with one touch taking it towards (around the outside of) that color cone. They then dribble to the back of the line, the passer takes their place.
Can be progressed to opposite colors, and/or competition - first line to make 10 passes.
Coaching Points
Check in and out. It is important that the receiving player has enough space to be able to guide the ball around the cone with one touch - the angle must be right. If they are standing directly between the cones or too close to the, then it will fail. Have them back up.
Pass and Receive with inside of the foot.

Set up 10 cone gates, 5 of each color. Put players in pairs with a ball between them. Pairs must travel around the area passing through as many gates as possible in 1 minute. You can progress to having them go through alternate colors.

If we have time, it's always good to end with flying changes. The game is high energy, high intensity and relevant for teaching attacking principles and transition.
I would like to get to 2v2 flying changes in the Spring. If we can make good enough progress before then, that's great.

Half of the players start in the middle with a ball. The other half are spread out around the outside of the field. White must find a Player on the outside and pass to them, taking their place. The new Player (Green) must dribble into the box and find another outside player to pass to. Continue.

Give and Go w/ Turn - When receiving the pass back, turn and explode to a new person
Give and Hold - The outside player traps the ball while the inside player runs around them. Lay off.
