This drill allows players to practice passing behind a dummy runner to change the angle of the attack.
Player #1 has two options; (a) to let player #2 run through then pass behind to player #4 or else pass to #3 who then moves forward and listens for the call for an inside pass to #4. Players should run attacking routes to maintain the 2-3m spacing as required.
