Split your players into 4s or more with 2 balls. Both blue players start with a ball.
Time the cross-over moves so that players receive on the move.
Encourage players to face the ball at all time when driving to receive the ball.
Players need to land on their outside foot when receiving the ball - you can get them to land on the wrong foot so they can experience the difference for themselves.
Try to get players to drive onto the ball and use their body when passing the ball.
You should be looking for your players to establish the 'land 1 2 release' - land step then release the ball.
