Setup: Place 3 cones in a line, 20-30 yards between each. Drill: Begin with one player at each cone, the two outside players having 3-4 balls at hand. The drill begins when an outside player passes a chest-high ball to the player in the middle. The middle player receives the pass and passes back to the outside player who passed in. The middle player then re-orients to the other outside player and repeats. Where possible, all players should alternate striking sides.
Focus: Direct catches and accurate passes at pace. Do not chase errant passes, continue the drill. Duration: 1 minute, then rotate to middle. Modification: Send the ball to the feet.
