Split your players into two teams if you have pinnies use them as it helps with clarity. Have the teams stand either side of the coach with all the soccer balls with the coach in the middle.

The coach should play a ball out to one of the two teams. The first player in each line runs out and competes to score by passing the ball back to the coach. Coach can vary the serve to favor one player and encourage other player to take on a defensive role and cut out the passing lane (take position to block pass immediately to the coach).

Coaching tip: The players should try and score as quickly as possible. If they are taking too long or go out of bounds instruct players to “clear the field”.

Coaching tip: The coach does not just have to remain in the one spot, the coach can move around to make players look up and not pass blindly>

Variation: Coach can call out a Number, then that number of players enter the field from each team giving an extra passing option.
