Unopposed passing pattern (10 mins)

Unopposed passing pattern.

- Player A passes to player B who takes his first touch into the safe space (shaded area) before sliding a pass to player C who times his forward run in behind the manequin to create a passing lane to play forwards. 

Player C recieves and playes on a maximim of 2 touches into player D's back foot who should have timed his movement off the manequine out to the touch line. 

Player D's first touch MUST take the ball through the first red gate marked out by cones. Player D will then dribble through the second red gate and switch the play with a longer pass to Player E's back foot.

Player E must attempt to take their first touch through the red gate before running with the ball (big touches) back to the start of the sequence 

- Players will follow their pass onto the next station ready to recieve the next ball

- Another ball will be played once player C recieves the ball
