This soccer activity  emphasizes the ability to read the movements of your teammates and make quick and accurate passes based off of those movements.

The red player will start the drill by making a pass to the blue player.the blue player will receive the first pass and make a pass right back to the red player.  player will then move to one of the discs and the red player needs to read their movement and make a pass to the yellow player.  The blue player needs to read the direction of the pass and open up for a shot on the side away from where the yellow player receives the pass.
