Position 5 Attackers as shown in the diagram, with Player 4 being marked by a Defender.
Pass 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 5, with 5 running round from behind 4 to collect the pass.
As ball is travelling from 3 to 4 then 5 makes the run. It is key that he doesn't go too early.
Set this up on the left and the right, You can play both sides, with Player 1 passing alternately to the left and then right.
Form a line of players ready on the centre circle ready to make it a continuous drill.
Each Player moves to the starting position of the Player they just passed to, except 5 who becomes the Defender and the Defender who joins the line of 1s.
Utilise the dummy!
Allow Player 5 to dictate which direction they perform the looping run.
If they run left, then Player 4 performs the standard wall pass
If they run right, then Player 4 will dummy the ball and let it run straight onto Player 5.
Emphasise the importance of a connection between Players 4 and 5 so they perform the right skill.
Player 4 should sell the dummy by calling a name, or looking in the opposite direction to the oncoming player
