Players are on the outside and try to keep the ball from two defenders in the middle. When the defenders win the ball, the attacker who lost the ball becomes the new defender, and the defender who was in longest goes on the outside.
Coaching points:
-Use proper receiving/ passing technique
-Receive with back foot when possible (so that you can go in either direction with the next pass)
-Movement on the outsides to create a better passing angle
