Blue passes from his zone to red in next xone. Red passes to Yellow within the same zone and Yellow then has to pass back to Blue in the final zone. Afer the first pass, Blue has to sprint around the cones into final zone in order to be there for the final pass, at which point he has one/two touch shot at goal - aiming for corners. Once final pass made, players move down one and start again, with Red making first pass and running. Have other groups of three doing same exercise. Each time a clean final pass is made, that group gets a point, but to ensure that they don't just play slowly, bonus points for whichever group gets most successes within 5 mins. Progression 1 - making middle zone longer. Progression 2 - First player receiving ball from second player whilst running through, passes to player 3 and still has to get there for final pass.
- Improving fitness and speed - improve reactions - Looking up and awareness - Control - Precision - Awareness of position/what going on - communication
