5 mins
Method:
2 minutes for each team.
Players will start by dribbling the ball from the center towards the corners. When they are approximately one meter away, they will pass the ball twice to a blue player. On the second pass, the player in the corner will wait for the passer to complete a lap around the outer cone and then return the ball to find another free player in the corner.
Coaching Points:
- Keeping their head up to observe the field.
- Speeding up ball control when returning to the center.

Method:
2 minutes for each team.
Players will start inside the central square and then move towards the corners. When they are at a distance of approximately 1 meter, they will pass the ball to an available player on the outside. The receiving player will then return the ball, and the player who made the pass will return to the central square to find another free player on the outside to pass the ball to. The process will continue for the duration of the 2 minutes.
