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.

Organization: Set area approx 30x30 with boxed area in each corner. Approx 12 players
Activity: Players divide into 2 teams, each with a teammate in opposite corners. Teammates pass to each other maintaining possession using their corner players who are in a safe area. Each time they connect pass to corner player they get a point. Progression: Corner player can dribble out and a teammate takes their spot
Coaching Points: Can attacking teams be mobile to get wide into space when defenders take away space in middle? Can attacking team play through middle and split defenders as they open up to cover wider players? Can players check in to support or overload when teammates are under pressure or outnumbered on a side?

Now we are introducing wingers running up and down the line helping the Offensive team going to the big goal who at first is the green team. The green defenders have to complete 5 passes with pressure from the red team.
After they complete the 5 passes they will look for a winger who will dribble the ball down the line and get a cross to one of the 2 forwards in green, the opposite winger can crash in the box for the cross.
Players can't go into opposite zones. (30 mins)
