Player A passes towards mannequin, player B skips in front to play a one-two, player A then plays in towards the second mannequin where player C will get in front and play to player B who has spun off. Player B then plays across towards the third mannequin where player D will get in the pocket and lay it back to player C who has again spun off. Player D now turns and gets behind the mannequin to receive the through ball from player C. After each player has made their two passes they will have rotated anti-clockwise. Ensure there is two players at each station so the drill flows.
Anticipate the pass and find the pocket of space.
