Player 2 runs to receive the ball from player 1 before then carrying the ball to the cones.
Player 2 then turns 180 degrees and passes the ball to player 1 who has followed their pass up the field to support. Player 2 then runs to the back of the other queue as players 1 receives the ball and then passes it across the area to the opposite line (white player 1).

Start this drill at half pace before then going into full pace.
If a player's pass goes astray during this practice make them do 10 press-ups once the drill is completed.
