Working with one ball between two players start on opposite cones. The first player dribbles the ball to the end cone whilst the other player jogs past them to the other cone.
On reaching the far cone the player with the ball turns and plays a flat, driven pass to the other player on the cone.
To make the drill more interesting players should dribble dynamically with the ball - dropping their shoulder, using both feet and if they are comfortable doing so, skills on the ball such as step overs.
When the player with the ball reaches the end they should perform a turn before passing the ball (drag back, Cruyff, step over).
