5 mins
Equipment:
-4 cones
-half the players with a ball, half without
Organization:
-same area as previous
-players with a ball will dribble around looking to make a short pass to an open player, then move around an outside cone before looking to receive a pass
-players without a ball are moving into open spaces looking to receive a pass and then dribbling off to find another teammate
Key Points:
-communication with each other (eye contact, talking, hand signals, body position)
-first touch control into space they want to move into
-have body position open so they can see a lot of the game
-always moving to find open spaces
-accurate, well weighted passes
