Position players as shown in the diagram, with one ball between each team.
Player 1 passes the ball overhead to player 2, who passes the ball through their legs to player 3, who passes the ball overhead to player 4.
When the ball gets to the back of the line, the last player runs to the front and repeats the exercise.
Look for sharp, ballistic movements.
This exercise allows you to assess the anaerobic fitness of your players as it requires lots of quick, short, rapid movements - ideal for developing sharpness and speed.
When the ball reaches player 1 they should roll the ball through a tunnel of legs to the last player. The last player picks up the ball and runs to the front to repeat.
Alternatively player 1 can run in between players like a slalom as they sprint to the front, then player 2 goes.
May also add a leap frog element and hopping on one leg up the line and then back down on the other leg.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
