Warm Up (20 mins)
Large square with a small square in the middle. Size depends on number of players you have for the practice.
Four groups of players - A, B, C, D. One player from each line goes at same time. Each player dribbles into the cones, stops the ball at the cone and runs to the right. On getting to the ball you pass out to the corner and follw your pass. The next player in line then starts the sequence.
Practice can then go across the square as shown in diagram so A & C are working together and B & D.

Main Theme (20 mins)
One player from each group (A, B, C, D) noe goes onto the cone in front of the group. That player receives the ball from a player in the group and opens up to play a pass with left foot to player in the B group and follows the pass into that group.
Every group goes at the same time so all four players are receiving and passing,
Change direction so the player is receiving on right foot and passing with right foot (back foot)
