Football: Long ball relay

The first player plays a one-two pass with player 2, who passes back in front of player 1's looping run.

Player 1 then dribbles with the ball either to the half-way line or the by-line where they then:

either pass to player 3 on the half-way line who then dribbles to the outside of the 16 yard box and shoot

or cross the ball into the box for the attacking player to attack.

4 players, 1 ball.

The blue player starts with the ball and plays a one-two pass with their partner. When they have received the ball again they should play a lofted pass to the furthest player from them (the other blue player) and then rotate with their partner so that the blue player is now on the inside and the red player is on the outside.

Meanwhile at the other end of the drill the receiving player should have controlled the lofted pass, played a one-two with their partner and then played a strong lofted ball back to the furthest player on the other side.

Both players should then swap places.

The red player (1) stands between the cones closest to the blue player.

When red player 1 is ready to receive the ball they move towards their marker before checking off the player and making a run to either the left, centre or right gate.

The blue player then plays the ball towards red player 1 who receives the ball and plays a one touch pass back.

The red players change roles when the defender intercepts the ball from the attacking player.

Player 1 passes the ball to one of the cones for player 2 to receive the ball and pass it back after this player 1 passes the ball to the opposite cone and player 2 again receives the ball and passes it back.

Complete ten passes before swapping positions.
Cones should not be put to far apart.
