• Communication
• Accuracy of passes, proper technique
• Body position, checking off the cone to call for pass and receive
• Can we weigh our pass so our teammate can meet the ball on their line?
• Can we take our first touch out from our feet to play the ball with our second?
• Can we time our runs to receive the through ball in motion?
