This drill focuses on combination plays between no. 6, 8 & 10. Player top right makes a long pass the length of rectangle and follows the ball to player at the other end. The ball is then played into the area to no.6 who then combines with player passing in the ball and the players in the no. 8 and 10 positions, moing the ball diagonally to the opposite corner. Players rotate through all the positions by simply following the ball after they have passed it.
