The practice starts with the first red player dribbling their ball to the goal line before passing the ball back to the player who is on the penalty spot.
The player receiving the ball then shoots at goal and the player who made the pass (red player 1) carries on their run to the penalty spot to replace player 4.
The same happens on the left hand side and the practice continues to loop around alternating from the the right and then the left.
This drill should run continuously.
Although players are working in a pre-set pattern they should approach every ball as if it were in a game situation - concentrating on the accuracy of the pass and the effectiveness of the shot.
