Set up as shown.
Player 1 passes the ball into the feet of player 2 who must turn and pass the ball to one of the three players outside of the cones, either to his left, right or behind him.
This drill will not only improve the passing technique of the players, but also improve their awareness; knowing what options they have before receiving the ball.
Make sure the players get their heads up and look before passing, being aware of what is around them and where there are good options to pass the ball.
Get the players on the outside of the cones to keep moving around and not staying in the same place, making it more difficult for the player inside the cones.

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.
