Set up 3 cones (or poles) spaced as shown in the diagram.
Have a mannequin positioned on either side of the middle, just before the penalty box.
Have a Player positioned on the backline to the left side in the penalty box with a ball.
Have another Player (W) positioned out wide to the right side with a ball.

Rationale:
The short pass is replicating a pull back from a winger in a game situation.
