Set up:
The distance between the poles can be based on your field space and age group. If you are doing several groups, make sure the distances are the same.
Each pole or mannequin can be between 8-12 yds.
Coaching Points:
Encourage players to make quick, accurate passes.
Encourage players to make quick, precise movements. (i.e. Checking away from mannequin, checking to, and working quickly to get around the mannequin to prepare for the next pass or movement.)
Directions:
A passes to B (Wall Pass) then A passes to C. (A moves to B, and B moves to C). C passes to D who lays it off to C and does a wall pass back to D who dribbles at speed back to A to continue again.
This can be used as a warm up or competition between groups.

15 mins
ORGANISATION:
- 4v2, 5v2 or 6v2 in 12m x12m area
- 2 players play inside the area trying to gain possession from the opposition who take up positions outside the area
- if a defender wins the ball he exchanges places with the player who lost it
KEY FACTORS:
- possession players must not make the area bigger to make it easier for themselves. Must try to play in front of themselves, quickly and positively.
PROGRESSION:
players must look to play passes that will split the defenders
