Passing Drill Positional and Decision making (20 mins)

3 passes to 2, who makes a movement away from the ball before coming back under the pole ( defender ) to recieve the pass and take a touch forward to break the line. Then passes underneath to 6 who takes a touch forward, then plays in 10 who has checked off the pole to recieve far foot. 10 plays in 7 after 7 has made two movements, takes a touch forward and dribbles past Mannequins to shoot at the GK below the knees.

Shooter then runs to centre where they do fast feet, into leep frog jump over hurdles into squat, then more fast feet and jog back to starting point

Progression is:

1) To increase the pace of the passing drill as they get warmer

2) To communicate when and where to play the pass
