This is a variation of the previous practice - the positions of the red cones and the blue mannequins (or large cones) change, as shown in the diagram . We also mark out 2 areas - one is 4 x 6 yards and the other is 5 x 8 yards .
The practice starts simultaneously with players A1 and A2 at opposite ends . On the right side, A1 plays a one-two combination with B1 who drops back - A1 receives back, dribbles forward and passes into the small area where D1 (winger) drops back to receive and turn . At the same time, C1 (full back) makes a run forward to receive out wide . To complete the sequence on this side, C1 passes at an angle for D1 who makes a run inside the mannequin and passes to the second start position (A2) .
On the left side, A2 plays a one-two combination with B2 who drops back (D2 drops back and C2 moves forward) - A2 receives back, dribbles forward and plays an aerial pass into the larger area, into the path of C2 . C2 finishes the sequence by passing to the A1 start position and the practice continues . All players move to the next position (A -> B -> C - > D -> Start) .
Variations
1 . The practice can be reversed so the players work on these combinations for the left side of the pitch .
2 . Player D1 can use 1 touch to pass to C and move behind the mannequin to receive again (instead of turning) .

Description
In a 35 x 50 yard area, we have 12 players, 2 balls (1 at either end as shown), 12 blue mannequins (or large cones), 4 white cone gates and 10 red cones to mark out starting positions .
The practice starts simultaneously with players A1 and A2 at opposite ends . We will explain the sequence starting from A1 - this is replicated on the other side, as shown . Player A1 passes to C1 who drops back and passes into the path of B1 who dribbles forward through the white cone gate . Player B1 then passes forward to D1 who has dropped back towards the available passing lane to provide a passing option . While this has been happening, player C1 has made a curved run to receive the next pass from D1 . When he does, he passes to the second start position (A2) and the sequence continues with the next player .
All players move to the next position (A -> B -> C - > D -> Start) .
Coaching Points
1 . Move towards the passing lanes to receive the forward passes at the right moment .
2 . Time the movement around the mannequins to receive the lay-off on the move .
